Elena can maybe add or clarify, but here's what I can tell you (start and finish just from knowing the letters, and the rest from freetranslation.com...
START and FINISH are actually the English words spelled with Russian letters. Russian has words for start and finish, but for some reason this game has decided to use the English words. If you're going to pronounce "finish" in Russian, you're going to need to use a long ee sound for i and little bit "harder" sound for sh than we're used to.
(Elena, is it possible that the English words for Start and Finish have entered the Russian language because of TV coverage of the Olympics or other track events?)
The other dots "spheres"...
Green - transition back (I think that means the same as "back to start.")
Blue - three spheres (spaces) forward
Red - one course is passed (I think this means "skip one row". What does the "theme" of the game seem to be? Maybe if it's a "go to the head of the class" kind of theme, "course" means "grade.") Any help, Elena?
(BTW, What is the name of the game?)
Orange - two courses passed
Yellow - reduction of a way - I'm thinking this means "Lose a turn."

I asked my Russian-speaking co-workers about the words and they agree with Billy's interpretation for the most part. They read the blue dot to be "be ready to move" instead of "3 forward" and they felt the orange was "one step" the red was "two steps" and the yellow was "begin" I don't know if that helps or not.
Take care,
Jim
Hello Everybody,
START and FINISH came to Russian from another language. They are used most often in Russian for sporting events.
About the game:
Green: 1 step back
Blue: 3 steps ahead
Orange: Lose 1 turn
Red: Lose 2 turns
Yellow: Shortcut
Debbie if you can post a picture of the rules I can explain better.
Hope this helps,
Elena
