April 17, 2015 => 17 апреля 2015 г.

4.17.2015 => 17.04.2015

This is not just a Russian convention, but is used throughout Europe (and in fact most, but not all, of the world outside of North America).

Based on your additional question, there is a special (old-fashioned) way of writting dates that is currently used on a tombstones and railroad equipment. For instance, here's how May, 4 2006 will look like:

$May, 4 2006$ .

So, in case of April 17, 2015 it will look like:

    17 
 20 -- 15 
    IV

Just to be absolutely strict and specific, here is the direct link to CLDR, which specifies the date/time format for Russian locale: http://st.unicode.org/cldr-apps/v#/ru/Generic/
