Re: RFC 4491 on Using the GOST R 34.10-94, GOST R 34.10-2001, and GOST R 34.11-94 Algorithms with the Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL Profile

Greetings.

It is not a simple task to make them "officially" available in English.
It requires at least some coordination with the Government Committee for 
Standards,
and there are a lot of old-fashioned people there who would ask questions
like "Do we really need this". We could start this process, if there is a 
weighty
demand for this within the internet community, e.g. within PKIX working 
group.
