Is it true that Russian sets typically are not heavily weighted in the way that HoS, etc., are?

Yes, it is.

I got informed by Mr.  Kusnetzov that (t)his Supreme set is not or no longer on sale. He offers a GM1 Set - does someone have any experience with that set?

The set below is the GM 1 set. you can see the knights are different than Chuck's version on page one of this thread ...

Thank you - I think there is a little difference with the pawn pattern too.
