Speaking about YANDEX it is my understanding you cannot get in of you do not have russian content. In some occasions I have seen websites with an introductory page in russian with links to the engilsh section of the website: In cases like this will that only page get index in YANDEX
Hey Sante,

Although Yandex is meant for Russian language pages only, a few searches show you than English stuff does creep in. That's the official line though.

I would say that in terms of structure, getting a Russian page or section indexed from a predominately English (or non-Russian) site is very hard. We've struggled here for months with multilingual sites set up in that way - eventually getting them put in as a hand job. Even after this they don't seem to gain the effects of work as fully. A dedicated Russian language page/site is the way to go here, on a .ru/su but .com etc. works fine too. They get included almost immediately.

Basically Yandex really doesn't like multilingual sites IMHO.
