is almost entirely in Russian. Email on the site is by means of a form:
http://akakris.igumnov.com/about?about_send_form=submit

On that page, the first blank is for email address. The second is for
subject, and the third is for the message. The final blank probably
wants to know how you found her, but there are a couple of words I don't
recognize. I'd leave it blank. The next item is a button for sending the
email.

The words you didn't recognize instruct the writer to enter the characters they see in the little box above that blank...I did that and in my case it was three numbers. I then hit the send button and it went. I also did not use my real email address! I really don't want mail from her or anyone associated with her. Here's what I wrote in my message: 

I and many others have seen the Fractal art and other art you have posted at Artfile. We, the original artists, are highly offended at your brazen theft of our work from Renderosity. You have been there and know that ALL work is copyrighted and may not be reproduced in any way without express permission from the artist. We demand that you remove those images from Artfile and anywhere else you may have posted them. It is offensive, unfair and illegal. If we wanted our work to be shown elsewhere we would post them ourselves! Your actions have offended us all. Is this what you hoped to achieve?

I didn't even sign it! Maybe kind of nasty, but hey!
