Interesting details from Valery KORNEEV:

As many have expected, it happened to be a dub of the American version, with Russian voice-actors' voices superimposed over American track (English can be heard, its volume is just toned down a bit). If you wonder, it is a common technique with Russian publishers - to do a dub without removing original voices, only reducing their volume.
