Grushovka is the only Siberian variety from the list which I can tell this is absolutely right.

Andrey, all I can tell you is that Bill McDorman was one of the first to go to that area after the borders were open to outsiders.
He collected the seeds from persons who were growing them in that area. And he used the names that they used and in a few cases I think he used a translated name.
There were many more than have been mentioned here, and his website no longer even lists all the varieties that Craig and I got and grew out.
So it wasn't as though he was dealing at a distance to have seeds sent to him saying they were from Siberia.
As I recall he made two such trips to that area.
