I'm Russian and I've never heard of Yelenya before. The most common Russian nickname for
Yelena is
Lena.
Even if Yelenya exists it's either extremely rare or archaic.
Sorry, but your sources don't seem trustworthy.
Some of the "names" mentioned in
imya.com are profanities.
Helena is not used in Russia at all.
