(mostly) Russian and Ukrainian sources: state of built-in recipes, fixes, new recipes

Hi there!

Among one and a half thousand recipes currently available in Calibre, Russian and Ukrainian sources are very scarce, their total share is less than 2% total. Moreover a lot of the recipes are already hopelessly outdated and no longer work, and since Russian-Ukrainian war started many Russian websites and newspapers were shut down under the state censorship pressure.

So I set myself the goal of checking which of the built-in Russian & Ukrainian recipes are still work at all and which ones can be fixed or updated. Another (more ambitious) goal is to add a couple of dozen new recipes for both popular & frequently quoted and niche thematic Internet resources from Russia & Ukraine in different languages (mostly in Russian & Ukrainian, occasionally in English if international version is available).

I hardly know the Python language, so my recipes are very primitive. Being sometimes unable to deal with fairly simple things (fixing missing images, etc.), I will still try not to cross the line of "quantity over quality" and make recipes as polished as my competence allows. I will be glad for any and suggestion from the forum members.

Well, let's get started.
