It appears that the same comment is being made over and over again, so it's worth putting a brief summary of the answers:
No, this is not yet peer reviewed. This is breaking news, and it's not had time to be assessed by experts in the fields, or even people who are tangentially acquainted.
However, unlike P vs NP, this problem does not have a long history of a "proof" per day by cranks, and a paper every year or so by established mathematicians. It's unusual to see a paper claiming anything substantial about this problem.
If you're interested, here's a link to the actual paper:
It's in Russian. If you can read Russian, and are acquainted with the math involved, then feedback would be most welcome. In the meantime this might be the solution, it might be an ultimately flawed but useful advance, or it might be nonsense.
It is, however, news.
Added in edit: This comment looks useful, but is not encouraging:
Having said that, if it has been solved by someone who is primarily in a teaching (as opposed to research) post, then it's plausible that they would spend some time (12 pages? Hmm) setting up the problem and notation.
