I would say "?" is just interpreted as a request part of the URL.

Indeed, the page source contains:

<a href="/book/ru/Введение-Установка-Git">prev</a> | <a
href="/book/ru/Введение-Как-получить-помощь?">next</a>

so the question mark is really included verbatim.

Good point, thanks.  I Cc'ed the main Git list and made the message

To the Pro Git book maintainer: is it possible to somehow fix the HTML
