As the result of being baffled, asking questions, then poking around in the most appallingly illiterate of fashions.
It's a Nokia advertising stunt on the Russian side. To get it, I turned the Cyrillic Services tickbox http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=display in my settings on, waited for the system to realize that I *had* turned it on (it took about 24 hours, but I didn't bother logging out or clearing cookies/cache/restarting browser), then poking the balls on the Flash-based tree at http://www.livejournal.ru/nokia2010/
As my command of written Russian is limited to Да, спам, and ЖЖ, and the page is Flash-based and doesn't let you copy the text and shove it in Google Translate, that process was pretty entertaining.

Thank you! Too bad I didn't know that when it was actually still santa time. Eh well, maybe it will stick around until next year. Holy smokes, maybe it will stay like that forever now. And transfor into bunny ears for easter? I'd like some bunny ears please.

If there's a red text message in the top right corner of the screen, in the navigation bar, the system hasn't realized you've got Cyrillic Services turned on yet.
I think the box that says you got the hat has two buttons rather than one.
Other than that, I was copying letters from the Wikipedia chart of the Cyrillic alphabet, and pasting them one by one into http://translate.google.com

Does that mean you can't say "no"? :-)
