Without going into details, MAK is the Russian equivalent of FAA.

I have no other charts for XUBS approach than those I mentioned before.

If you look at:
http://www.mak.ru/russian/info/news/...m_101_pic1.jpg

you will see, that the near beacon is 1050 m from the runway threshold. Confirmed by GoogleEarth and people from Smolensk. Now, if you look for the far beacon, GoogleEarth will give you 6300 m (instead of 6100 m) from the runway threshold. So far no logical explanation.
