hmmm,

did you find when you entered the single-line search query that it came back with no results AND that it had corrupted the cyrillic to look like nonsense?  That was the result that I kept getting.  So I went to language tools>advanced search and filled in the appropriate blocks on the search.  If that doesn't work, I'm stumped.  Perhaps there is something with the encoding your browser is using for Russian.  I have also had some problems when using Google's language tools on Mac OSX.  I'm not in front of my Mac right now, so I can't check it.  But I'll try later and see what sorts of results I get.

Scratching my head,

Troy
