Interestlingly, it links to https://www.mozilla.org/es-ES/ for me (and I don't have it in the accept-lang headers sent by my browser), I guess there is a caching problem and you are seeing the cached version of the page of a previous russian-speaking visitor.

I see https://www.mozilla.org/ru from here with Firefox and Edge - even after deleting cookies and cache.

It seems to be in russian for several users in Germany.

Strangely enough I'm getting the correct locale (Italian).

Another German user just told me he is getting a German website.

This is due to the contents of /credits being cached from users with different Accept-Language headers. Filed PR to remove locale from link. Thanks for filing!

Note that this still needs to be pushed to production (I guess next week), so it's expected to still see the issue in the meantime.
