Yes it's for Spektr-R.
According to anikīs schedule Spektr-R will be launched in 2010. What is the reason that the rocket is already in Baikonur?
Initial launch schedule was 2009.

Initial launch schedule was 2009.
Does that mean it can be used for a different launch? Another federal or commercial?

If it is really a rocket for Spektr-R, then it is Zenit-2SB80 rocket, which can be used only with Fregat-SB upper stage, so not for commercial launches, but for launches of Elektro-L and Fobos-Grunt.

On picture 8220: what is the lowest logo?
Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company: http://www.ugmk.com/en/
No Space Systems/Loral or Telesat logo? Seems odd.

Isn't strange that we don't have the launch time yet?

Zenit-3SLB is now at the launch pad.
http://www.federalspace.ru/NewsDoSele.asp?NEWSID=5504
Ineresting: The rocket carries a kyrillic inscription "Зенит-3SLБ" (= Zenit-3SLB). Other commercial Zenits were labled in latin letters reading "Sea Launch" or "Land Launch"
Unlike Sea Launch, the launch campaign side of Land Launch is an all-Ukrainio-Russian show, as I understand it.

AMOS-3 had "Land Launch" on the rocket.

What is strange is that it's only a "semi-kyrillic" inscription !

Yes it did. Perhaps that was just for the inaugural launch. We'll see!

This is 100% correct name for this rocket. You will see it in all official documentation in russian. I believe "SL" means "Sea Launch" modification and it is always written using english characters. And russian "Б" (B) is a further modification for Baikonur (Land launch).
Зенит-3SLБ = 2SБ60 (from Yuzhnoe) + ДМ-SLБ (Block DM-SLB - from Energia). Block DM is used as a 3rd stage (hence number 3 in 3SLБ)

There is now some coverage on the "official" stream,
http://tv-tsenki.com/liveThe feed isn't very good though (understatement - it's nearly as bad as the Venesat webcast).
