Yes this is Spiranthes sinensis. It can have both white or pink
coloured flowers and has a very wide range of distribution from Europe
to Pacific, covering Russia too...
The brown part in the front of lip is actually dried fimbriate portion
of the lip, the flowers are a bit old and about to dry otherwise that
portion is slightly broader than what it looks right now.

I am happy to see this.
