This is true. The title near the top of the Russian language page, says, "Результаты теста антивирусов на лечение активного заражения (октябрь 2008)", which, of course, means "The results of the test antivirus for treatment of active infection (October 2008)"
For folk (like myself) who actually don't understand Russian, Google Translate appears to do a passable job of translating the page.
One of the points that will interest people here is visible in either of the two tables about two thirds down the page, showing the very large improvement made by Avast since the last test/s were run.
A truly creditable performance.
