The most popular Russian site for such a complicated topic is http://habrahabr.ru/. Let me tell you how it works.

1. Somebody publishes a post in English.
2. The English-speaking community upvotes the post.
3. The most prominent members of Russian-speaking community (who happen to know English) notice that the post is very popular.
4. Somebody translates the post into Russian.

So the best way to get a Russian version is to make an English post popular. Which brings us to the interesting question: what's the most popular place to publish it?

On http://bitcoinhivemind.com/presentations/, the "Value of a Truthcoin" link is broken. I found the presentation nevertheless, but other people might not be so determined.

Is this forum the right place to report such minor issues?

The forum software requires to solve captchas like http://joxi.ru/KAgKXRDuOkBqAl for every comment. Does it serve to discourage users with low reputation from commenting?

To a language that non-technical people can understand, yes. At least, that's the intention.

Or did you mean another natural language (e.g. Russian)?

Thanks for clarifying. Overall, can I post the text without looking silly?

The reason for posting is to educate people on prediction markets. But there's a risk of mis-educating them, so that's why I'm asking for a peer review.

I've been reading the white papers, and was convinced by the "Snowden" case. In a flash of revelation, PMs made perfect sense.

So I reasoned other people might be convinced by this case, too — and decided to "remix" it into a separate post.

But I'm worried if my understanding of PMs is right. In particular, the claim that "[PMs] also use cryptocurrency instead of fiat, which provides the necessary anonymity." Isn't it actually pseudo-anonymity, and our hypothesized Snowden can still be tracked?
