Thank you! Typing in Russian: I'm pretty used to transliterated Russian, but if you prefer it looked properly, there is a converter (one of the several) http://www.benya.com/cyrillic/ which allows you to type Latin letters and converts the text in proper Cyrillic. I'm not sure how you import the result into LJ post/comment field, but I believe cut/paste should work. It has a conversion sidebar useful for unintuitive cases like ы=y Little Lord Fauntleroy sounds familiar. I certainly never read it, but the name is infamous.
