Maria,

Nobody has actually tackled Cryllic charactersets yet, although since at 
least one person uses Big-5, I'm SURE it's possible.  The first thing that 
has to be changed is the charset= from ISO-8859-1 to value in 
MessagesBundle.properties to CP1251.  Then you'll need to create a class:
com.jcorporate.expresso.core.security.filters.CP1251.java that's similar to 
the ISO_8859_1.java class.  [You should be able to copy and paste most of it]

I don't know how well Expresso will play with cp1251 charactersets as far 
as creating it with Oracle as far as DBCreate is concerned.

The Expresso English messages bundle would have to be translated of 
course... so there would be work to get it done, but we'd certainly include 
Russian work into CVS!

HTH!
