help! keaboard problem!

[Giampaolo Gandolfo]

    Dear Seelangers,
        I am on vacation in the mountains, away from all possible help, and I am all af a sudden confronted with a funny, but very seriuos and annoying problem. When I shift from the Italian keyboard (my standard keyboard) to the Russian one (Russian 1251), I get not what what I have been used to, but Cyrillic letters that seem arbitrarily arranged. All is normal, however (i.e. as before), when I move to another Slavic keyboard such as Croatian or Slovenian. Apparently I inadvertently pressed some key that caused this unpleasant bug, but I cannot recall which. I will be grateful for any solution you might suggest.
Answer on or off list, as you think fit. 
        Ogromnoe vam spasibo!
