Follow-Up to Question 14: Finally, we would like to confirm understanding that the 25 year term set forth in Article 1340 only applies to publications of unpublished works that occur after the term of the exclusive right set forth in Article 1281 has expired.

Yes, it's true. 25-year period establishes for the earlier unpublished works if the general term of copyright, established by Article 1281 of the CC RF, had already expired. Thus, protection of publisher rights doesn't rival the copyright for the work, but establishes in addition to such protection.
