stressed sans
This doesn't help you with the "antiqua" aspect or "ленточная", but in English the class of typefaces you list is called "stressed sans serif" or just "stressed sans." And, evidently, several other things: "Various names exist for this style of face - humanist roman, stressed sans serif, serif-less roman, modified sans serif, calligraphic roman" - Lewis Blackwell, 20th Century Type, 1992.

Linear Antiqua
Hi Nicki, I believe the group of fonts you are looking for is the Grotesque group of sans-serifs: it is called "Lineal Grotesque" or "Linear-Antiqua" in German, hence possible transformation into "ленточный" in Russian. In any case, Peignot, Optima and Britannic all belong to the Grotesque group (Optima has some features of Humanistic group).

In any event, Nicki, you probably have these lists, but just in case: here are some typeface classification lists in English.

Also interesting is this on the Thibaudeau classification (follow the link on sans-serif) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thibaudeau_classification - which is enlightening on the Antique/Antiqua confusion.
Did Russian typographic terminology come more from French, or from German, I wonder?
