There is nothing wrong with your English Alex.
I sometimes write in a funny way myself.
At least when I read it later on it sounds weird to me.

I have a friend named Nicholay Chehlatov who lives in Rostoc-on-Don.
We have been communicating for quiet a while now over email but the language barrier has been a challenge.
Any way, he is also very interested in similar pigeons you are interested in and had mentioned some people keeping them in Moskova region.
I thought, I would ask.
Needle in a hay stack but you don't know if you don't ask.
We started communicating when he was looking for the origin of the Blogadar breed:

Looking at the photos, I have a question:
The birds of Grigory you have on the photos are what we call Azeri tumblers but you guys also call them Baku?
It is a bit confusing to me.
Can you tell me little bit about this naming please?
While we call those birds Azeri Tumblers the birds we call Baku are these:





These as Baku Grivun

They do have a lot of Turkish roots and more then one way. The comments you hear about the Iranian roots are also true but with a twist. Part of the Azeri tumbler is what we call Turkman Tumbler, which is from Northern Iran. So, it is from Iran but really from a Turk descent (more precisely Azeri Turk descent) not the Iranian birds most people would imagine as in the highfliers of Iran. It would be very difficult to hide the long body shape of those birds in any mix any way.
Here are some different color Turkman tumblers:
