All the strings in the file where somehow reordered. They do not appear
in the same order as in the original message.pot file but ordered by
source file and lines. That messes up with the way Git deals with changes.
Do you know how this reordering happened? How can we get the strings in
their original order?

The only changes introduced by that file are changes in the header and
the removal of all commented strings. I'm not sure we have a strict
policy about commented translations but I think it makes sense to leave
them in the files because they can be helpful for future translations
since that's work that already has been done and could be reused.

This one has a few new strings translated.
In the header, the `PO-Revision Date` is not set. I'd say it would be
nice to update it and we usually do.
Regarding the translated strings:
On line 170:
msgstr ""
"Любые внесенные вами изменения вступят в силу только после повторного
запуска Tails. \n"
" \n"
" Теперь вы можете закрыть эту программу."
There are a few spaces that I bet should not be here. I don't know about
Russian typography and I'm not sure that would be problematic once
embedded in the software but it could. So if we don't need them we
should get rid of them.
On line 222:
-msgstr "Исправление атрибутов в разделе системы Tails."
+msgstr "Исправление атрибутов в разделе системы Tails/"
Should it be a ‘.’ or a ‘/’?

Great!
So regarding the issue on the strings being reordered, the removal of
the commented translations, and the absence of the revision date I
wonder whether all this could get solved from the configuration of your
PO editor. Which one do you use?
And also, I don't know if you are comfortable using Git but, apart from
using it to get updated versions of the repositories, it is helpful to
review your changes before sending them, for example using `git diff`.
