Description Quicksilver 2013-12-02 09:08:55 UTC 
The program (russian language) has a flaw:

Левая рука
Правая рука

Comment 1 André Klapper 2013-12-02 17:57:30 UTC 
What is the flaw?
Comment 2 Quicksilver 2013-12-02 18:23:23 UTC 
"Влево" must be "Левая рука".
"Вправо" must be "Правая рука".

Comment 4 André Klapper 2013-12-03 08:42:41 UTC 
Why is this an "error" at all?

The instructions say
  Найди свою левую и правую руки
  Определите правую и левую руку
before, so it is clear that "left" and "right" refer to hands here.

The original translation does not mention "hand" either for the strings "left" and "right" so this is not specific to Russian.
Comment 5 Quicksilver 2013-12-03 08:54:11 UTC 

This is important, because it defeats the purpose of a button.
If you do not write the word "hand", then you should be "Левая", "Правая".

I am a Russian man as it is written now - wrong.
Comment 6 André Klapper 2013-12-03 11:11:12 UTC 
In that case the strings in the codebase need disambiguation ( https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Translation%20contexts ) as the string is used in several places which can be seen in 
https://l10n.gnome.org/vertimus/gcompris/master/po/ru :
