Translations available at Google and Microsoft

* Users and communities utilizing Cyrillic Services will no longer display the exact number of friends, members, or watched by on the profile if those numbers exceed two thousand. Users and community owners/maintainers will continue to be able to see the exact number.

* Pageviews will no longer factor into user and community ratings (I think. This was short enough to make machine translation a bit rough.)

* These changes are completely coincidental, and are meant for optimization.

* Which brings to mind an interesting report last week from user strannik01 (just a regular guy in Chicago). He reports that the Russian legislature has approved a law classifying any Russian website or blog with more than three thousand visitors a day as a media outlet. This means that any Russian LJ user in Russia with more than three thousand is now subject to the same regulations as other non-state-run media.

* So yeah, coincidental change on LJ's end that makes it harder to casually determine how many viewers Cyrillic users have.
