I have 'synced' the wiki page 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:office%3Dgovernment with the 
Russian source page.
It now reflects the use of the sub tag government= as documented on the 
Russian page.

I have also added some words to the wiki page 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:office%3Dadministrative  to 
better reflect its relation to office=government.

Any errors are mine. Thoughts?
