Firstly, I'd like to thank the respondents.

What I found out about corpora of non-literary russian corpora was
what I had expected: there are practically none available, if I am to
take the responses I got as an indication of what is generally
available.

There are, however, several sources for corpora of literary Russian
texts. George Fowler maintains such an ftp site:

ftp://infomeister.osc.edu/pub/central_eastern_europe/russian/corpora

I was also pointed to a link to other sources (including Russian bible
translations) at the following URL:

http://www.indiana.edu/~letrs/related-links/index.html

As for taggers, I got one response from Markku Norberg in Finnland,
who has a morphological tagger for Russian (among other languages).
His URL is:

http://www.lingsoft.fi

That's it. Hope it helps some of you.
