It's very interesting what you say about Jan Bubenicek's "Pirat"... as I see from the link to the former video on Youtube, Funtik is apparently claiming to own not just Soyuzmultfilm's copyrights. Yeah, this confuses things even more for me. What's their game? The closest I've come to seeing any official statement from them is the recent post by David R. Silvester, who appears to be their spokesperson or close friend.

Khrzhanovskiy's "Grey-Bearded Lion" I actually made subtitles for a while ago, but I never got around to uploading it because I was looking for a better-quality version of the video. I'd better upload that soon, I guess... probably I won't find a better copy anyway.

As for Youtube, the situation is this: if you upload a video, sometimes your video will be automatically rejected once you've uploaded it, because Youtube's ContentID recognizes that the same video has been deleted before. No penalty for you in that case, but nobody gets to see it either. If you upload a video, and it's NOT rejected, it may later get tagged through Youtube's ContentID, either by a legitimate rightsholder or just by a fake rightsholder trying to make some easy money. They may choose to put ads on it - in that case you're fine. But if they choose to REMOVE it, you get a strike on your account. Three such strikes, and your account gets deleted.

Also, it seems that multiple removals in a short space of time count as ONE strike rather than many. At least it was that way for me. But I wouldn't necessarily count on it.
