  This isn't all that difficult.  All you need is a Cyrillic font.  Since 
all word processors will handle multiple fonts, all you have to do is to 
load this font (sorry I don't know where one is off hand but you might 
check sumex). 

   Since I don't know anything about Cyrillic (or Russian) I don't know if 
it reads left-to-right or right-to-left.  Not to worry.  Nisus will even 
do the left-to-right that Hebrew requires.  Try that on a PC!
