OOP in russian translation

Couple of days ago I went into one of my favourite russian bookstores 
in New York. What do I see there? Finally OoP in russian is out. :o)


So, of course I bought it and of course I was rereading bits and 
pieces from the book. This translation is actually better than they 
did with other books (maybe because they changed translators), 
although the fact that they decided to translate some names still 
hurts my ears. :o)


I am still reading ( not doing it in order :o), but there is one 
thing which made me curious already - when Dumbledore talks to Harry 
about mysterious force locked in the room and which Harry supposedly 
has, they actually spelled it out - the retranslation of the sentence 
sounds something like this  " And the name of this force is Love".

So, did the translator decide to solve the mystery for us or do they 
know something we don't? :o)
