Both unofficial versions will be able to render the Russian characters
provided with the correct input.  You cannot use Windows 8 bit encoding of
Russian characters, you need to convert the file to Unicode UTF8 encoding
(sorry, don't know about such tools for Windows).  All you need then is an
Unicode font.

PS: As usual, in the future POV-Ray 3.5 will fix the font problems (at least
as far as it is possible).
