Question
Godville is what's known as a ZPG (Zero Player Game) - it's a MMORPG where you - the player - don't actually control the hero in typical RPG way - the hero levels up without player doing any work. The player just sits around and rewards/punishers the hero.
There appear to be two very similar versions of Godville around - an English one (godvillegame.com) and a Russian one (godville.net).

As can be seen from the above screenshots, the two versions seem to be very close, apparently using nearly identical web back-ends (and there are even Andorid clients that can play both).
Please note that content-wise, they are somewhat different - Russian one is nearly 100% culture tropes and puns whereas English one seems to be more standard RPG content.
The question: what is the exact relationship (organizational and software wise) between both games?
is it really the same exact game ported by the same company to two different markets?
or is one of them an authorized clone using the same exact software (or starting off from the same software - there seem to be some divergent features) as the original;
or is one just an unauthorized clone of another?
Some other option I didn't think of?
Answer
They're the same game - the publisher is the same in the Android market: Godville Games Limited.
