Well,, this should be quite easy.
Have a look on the git-svn tool. You should be able to create a git checkout 
from your svn stuff.. After this it's very easy to pick each commit and apply 
it on the new git repro. This is maybe a effort of ~2-3 hours.

Well.. as long as the development is in english and in one repository (with 
maybe several branches to test things). This is a good idea. If this means to 
also have several repros this is in my eyes a very bad idea.

Yes. 
I would suggest to start with one repro for the development with a main 
bugtracker (which is in english) and then have your bugtracker for the russian 
things. 
Is this okay for you? 

If yes I'll set up a trac on my private server until I find a better solution.
If this repro is ready I'll ping you and we can start to migrate you patches 
into the git repro. Is this okay for you (and the rest of the team?)


Greetings
