A draft federal space program currently envisions the Phobos-Grunt project
It would appear that the Russian have been studing the play book on Oppurtunity and spirit success.
Maybe Nasa could save a little on exploration by paying for the data that they would need for future mission and for any manned missions to come.

Russian viewpoint for space exploration.
It's already crystal clear that this manned spacecraft must be assembled in circum-terrestrial orbit, subsequently flying elsewhere; with this in mind, we'll have to build an assembly platform, also creating an effective transport-technical support system, Perminov told his audience.
