See history of CC in Russia on the jurisdiction's website (translation) and in Russian Wikipedia (translation). Right now in Russia are discussing Russian Civil Code alteration for improving legality of CC licenses supported by president Dmitry Medvedev, but according to government document CC licenses already work in Russia and aren't illegal even without "porting".
See list of some license users in Russia (translation). CC licenses already successfully use websites of president of Russia, heads of Russian regions, state universities and professors, news media, musicians, photographers, bloggers, civil activists, fun sites and others besides hundreds and thousands of Russian users of international websites as Wikipedia, Wikia, Flickr, Picasa, YouTube, Jamendo, OpenStreetMap, Wikimapia.
