Dmitry, the controversial change you are talking about was proposed two
years ago, and it was finally applied in 2011, thus making this
particular bug report closed.

If you suggest to revert the change, please file a separate bug report
with all necessary references supporting your proposal.

Personally, I concur the change was erroneous, and I certainly reverted
it in the glibc package I maintain as soon as I saw its ugly results.
But the original bug report should remain in the "fixed" state
nevertheless.

Title:
  Month names in Russian Localization should be in lowercase

Status in The GNU C Library:
  Fix Released
Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Fix Released
Status in “langpack-locales” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Panel clock shows date for Russian locale in the following format:
  "Втр, 10 Июл, 00:31". It is not right.

  1. According to Russian writing practice, month names are not
  capitalized. So if month name doesn't stay in the beginning of the
  sentence, its first letter should not be capital (for example: "10
  июля" or "10 июл" for abbreviation).

  2. 3 letter abbreviations for weekdays are very rare in Russian. It is
  better to use 2 letters (Пн, Вт, Ср, Чт, Пт, Сб, Вс).
