D talked about cracked .exes and Big Jah about bad cameos, so I'm sure it's not official, but a clear statement what they really are would help us plan

They're just localized versions. The amount of work put into localizing all the game, incl all the cameos, CSF, audio, taunts, movies, etc. is enormous. But the russians localize every game they can get their hands on... There's even a saying - "A drunk Russian hacker cannot be stopped".
But it's definitely not official - you don't find \crack\yuri.exe in official versions, do you? Btw, it automatically installs the localized files without asking (using the original setup program), so it's a "modified/cracked official release", IMO.
