They have been making noises about starting for years, but perhaps they are finally getting it together. It's a good idea, as far as their destinations.

Looks like an airline that wants to connect the U.S with the former Soviet blocks, don't know what to say about that.... Nothing like a 30 hour layover in the Ukraine. Hopefully the crew will clear Skybus wages, probably not...

Gents:

This sounds like the same effort to launch "Baltia" that was unsuccessful in the mid to late 1980's. That attempt had planned to initiate flights from JFK to eastern Europe and the Soviet Union but never flew their first revenue flight.

The situation has changed in the world and perhaps the Russian mofia has more capital to invest now. As for the flight attendants...well, that could prove to be "interesting".
