I'm not sure I understand the above, but it inspired me to bring up my 
secret hobby--seeing how many interesting Russian words I can form from 
the English keyboard.  This turns out to be an excellent way to come up 
with passwords that are easy to remember and also highly rated by the 
web sites that actually rate the quality of your proposed password.
Here are the Cyrillic letters one can find on an English keyboard:
A B E 3 K M H O P C T Y X bI b   Note that this includes a digit and a 
lower-case letter, thus satisfying the web sites that demand numbers and 
lower and upper case.
Here are some words I formed off the top of my head.  I am sure one can 
come up with many more: BECTb, BOCK, XBOCTb, HOPbI, TPYC, BY3bI, KPOBb, 
3ABTPAKATb
Let the games begin!
