Yes, the Russians and a few others still use DJvu, and if you ever do
much of anything with old public safety gear in terms of making
repeaters or moving old radios to the ham bands, you will find
yourself on the Russian sites eventually. It isn't a large investment
in terms of file size and it's good to have in your toolset.
I'd like to say God Bless the Russian hams: They've kept alive some of
the data that otherwise might have been lost forever and made it
possible to use a lot of old radios that would have become part of the
landfill in this country's throw-away mindset. Their love of old
solid radios, not just the more popular ones, has helped a lot of hams
(myself included) be able to create things and have capabilities that
I could never have afforded to purchase at retail. They've made it
possible to turn trash into treasure.
