I am a romanian, my cc is a romanian one from BRD bank, which is a french bank (Societe Generale), and it is a Mastercard.
I did all of this from London, UK (where I am atm).
1) I've bought the game from the russian yuplay site. I can confirm it was 14.something (under 15) USD, and another 1.6 USD the security payment.
I've used google translate (even if I know how to read russian, I don't understand all the words, it was a loong time ago when I was studying russian in highschool). You need an yuplay account to buy, just set up one (I've already had one on yuplay.com, from buying WoP on Steam as it was required, and it worked on yuplay.ru too)
I've browsed to the game, pressed the Buy (in russian) button, then went to checkout.
I've selected the VISA/MASTERCARD payment option, then I've added my cc details.
Then I've pressed buy.
As it is the first time I've added that cc on my acount, they've did a security payment from it, and asked me to check my bank account and enter the amount taken from them in that security payment. For me, it was 1.6 USD
All of this I did last night. I couldn't confirm the security amount, as my bank's online application wouldn't show recent transactions (it can take even 3 days to update)
This morning I've called the bank, and they've confirmed there were two payments made from y account to yuplay, the security one in amount of 1.6 USD, and the game's payment in 14.something USD amount.
After I've confirmed the security amount (1.6 USD for me), the trasaction was made, and I've received an email with the game's serial.
I've made a normal new account (from my UK appartment, using Steam app, marking it's country ass Romania), and then registered the serial on it (which appears as IL2 CoD russian retail, app 63650), then I've downloaded it, and started it.
All the text is in russian, but you can manage if you can read russian, or have a look at the english menu screenshots Oleg released a while ago in some updates. All the sounds are in english (radio chatter, etc).
PS: do NOT try to buy it through Steam, even if you'll use a VPN and a russian IP/russian Steam (by adding a ?cc=RU at the end of the application's link), your cc will not be russian, and you will not be allowed to buy it.
PPS: the game runs horribly for me, but well then, I am on a rather crappy laptop (Intel Core2 Duo 330M 2.13 GHz 1066 MHz, ATI Mobility Radeon 5470 500 MB VRAM, 4 GB DDR2 RAM, 5400 rotations HDD), with everythingset on medium I think. I'll start thinkering the video settings as soon as you guys let me
