Haiku in Russian?

Here's an interesting email I received today. Ever suspicious, I didn't believe it at first, but Norton let it in unheralded, so I cautiously opened the site. And it was on the up-and-up, ridgey-didge, true blue, so here it is. Have a look ... I suppose haiku in Russian is no more outlandish than haiku in English.
