I wonder whether somebody doesn't know the russian (speaking) journal Kriosfera Zemli (Earth Cryosphere), which publishes four printed issues per year. The articles in there are mostly relevant to permafrost science or glaciology in Russia. Recently published issues in most cases are freely available as pdf.  Articles have at least an abstract in English, so one could contact the author if the content is relevant to your field. Check the journal under: http://www.izdatgeo.ru/index.php?action=journal&id=2
