Well, from what I read, it was moved from Q3 2009 to Q4 2009, which is sort of weird, since generally, all you need to do is translate the game. However, right now there is a lot of testing done by the russian-speaking players (testing by playing that is, and pointing out the bugs), so I'm confident this is one of the reasons for the delay.
So far 3 or 4 patches have been released regarding balance changes, bugfixes and such, which indeed shows some steady progress. I believe that in the end, the initial english version will be practically clean and almost bugfree if they keep up the good work.
