With a little time, experience and knowledge of Russian, we all could become more productive in our searching here. So some sharing of info would be great and everyone would benefit.

Unfortunately, my methods aren't particularly revolutionary. The main thing that I have found is that some of the best pics / series aren't tagged or labelled as anything special, so you need to be patient and willing to devote some time to find the obscure images (and be prepared for some fruitless searching).
My favourite site is probably photofile.ru/photofile.name, as it's quite easy to navigate
(but I've also noticed that picasa has some great stuff on offer, with pics that won't appear unless you search in Russian). Unfortunately, there are a lot more passworded albums on photofile today than there were a year ago, and they have also closed the backdoor into the 'fullsize' protected images, so it's not quite as easy these days to find gems.
Some things that I do, and that you likely already know (and that I can think of right now), are:
- If you like high resolution images (like me), you won't normally find them in pre-2005 albums - It's almost like photofile limited the resolution to 584x700 MAXIMUM prior to then, so be prepared for some frustrating finds: fantastic but small. On the odd occasion, however, I have found albums with smaller images at the start and larger ones further into the album, so bear this in mind.
- If you come across an album that you like, take note of the album name and search for this in all / any other Russian sites that you know of (I have found some great pics by searching for a Russian word / album that I didn't even know the English translation) - use babelfish if you need to know
- I initially didn't realise that common search terms like 'Kazantip' had Russian versions like 'КАZАНТИП' (I figured, somewhat foolishly I guess, that it was a place name and wouldn't change with language). If you can figure out the Russian version of some of your favourite events / terms, you open up a swag of new opportunities
- If you like a user, search ALL of their friends, then their friends and so on .. time consuming but potentially very rewarding
- Search in the broad genres, ‘other’, ‘friends & acquaintances’ etc, as Russian people can be as lazy as any other, so not everything is neatly categorised.
- Searching a 20 page album is frustrating, so show all images at once by typing 'all' at the end of the album name URL, and increase the size of the thumbnails to quickly search through them when scrolling.
- And finally, check back often for recent updates / additions. I have seen great (public) albums come and go in the space of days.
That's my two cents, if nothing else. Sorry there's nothing terribly helpful here, but I didn't want you to think that I was holding out.
And if someone actually does have some magical tips / tricks, I would also be keen to hear them.
