It would seem so. Certainly titles are there that are still in copyright in the U.S. (and elsewhere). Non-Russian language titles seem to follow different rules in Russia, however, as far as I can tell -- they may not be breaking any criminal laws there. I didn't see any frontlist titles, and books listed all identify their 'maintainers.' Not exactly the equivalent of offering Windows 98 but definitely you don't see books on the NY Times bestseller list, if I may use that comparison to warez sites offering the latest Microsoft or Adobe software.

So, as PG sites say, better check the laws of where you live (and follow those).
