Ira! Didn't I dig it out... Suggested filipjevi just roughly. Wanted more opinions if there would be any. So pitched that in the morning, before work.

Not identified → Celastrina filipjevi / Confidently identified / Irina Nikulina.

Yury, why without ID? Doubting between Celastrina oreas and Celastrina filipjevi? This is filipjevi, as I see. Proof — clear and outlined black patter on the underside whilst oreas has less distinct and similar to Celastrina ladonides. There is V. V. Dubatolov's publication "Maslowskia oreas in Russia" (in the works of Ussuriisk Nature Reserve, the Institute of Biology and Soil Science, FEB RAS), where it said that oreas is similar to Celastrina ladonides but not filipjevi.
This distinction is well seen here http://www.lycaenidae.gmxhome.de/Lycaenopsis/Celastrina/celastrina-index.htm where you can see all three species.
