Roman,  If possible please pass on my sincerest congrats to Timur via the astronomy.ru forum.  If I understood a word of russian I would do so myself.
Timur must be on top of the world right now!!  Denis Denisenko posted some info on the Minor Planet Mailing List and I replied there.

If I understood Denis correctly (2212) Hephaistos and (5324) Lyapunov were discovered from Ukraine so Timur's discovery is the first NEO from Russia.
Please also tell Timur that I will keep 2009 HZ67 on my observing schedule and get additional astrometry for it when possible.  Unless there is a good observation arc it may make it a little more difficult to recover this at next opposition so I will try to help out when that time comes.
