I looked on iana.org and the last released version of tzdata is tzdata2014i but it still contains the Medvedev act rules and not the state of affairs since Oct 26, 2014.

I think the confusion comes from the fact that the rules section does not include a change because by longstanding policy "permanent summer time" and "standard time" are both regarded as standard time by the tzdata project, so the change is reflected as an offset change from 4:00 to 3:00 under Europe/Moscow (and other Russian zones), and not a rule change under Russia.
