What happend to the Russians? and the woman who answers the phone

[RonBang]

I guess they were russians. You dont hear anything about that ever again. At the end of season 2 were the phone rings and that woman picks up desmonds girl i think...whatever no matter and the russians say i think we found him...how come they never have gone back or said anything about that at all....?

I think things are already in motion on that end. They just decided not to show us yet. The woman on the phone is Penelope Widmore, Desmond's honey bunny. Apparently, she has been using her extensive resources to search for Desmundo and probably hired the two guys (I dont think they're Russian, someone mentioned that they were speaking Portugese) to keep track of electromagnetic anomalies in the south seas.
