When I look at lyrics from Russian (Or Ukrainian or whatever) the lyrics come out as mere garbled nonsense.
How can I remedy this?
It should be appearing in Cyrillic text (which my browser seems to be able to support) but it just looks like ?1/2:: or something.

Yes, it is the problem, when someone updates the page that contains cyrillic symbols, the symbols automatically change. So now, for example, when I want to update the release I have to copy and paste all the song titles and lyrics to avoid this. Don't know what has caused it, there was no such a problem before (it happens to me for last month or two).

this problem is very old and will be fixed in V2. One quite odd example though: the latest release of Simargl. I am not able to get it displayed in cyrillic letters. Is anyone facing the same problem? Could someone report it with the correct spelling?

If you're speaking about the title of the release, then yes, I too can't see it in Cyrillic letters. In case a mod is seeing this, the correct title is "Äà Â Ðîäíîì Êðàþ". Their first demo has the same problem as well, the correct title is "Ïåñíü Ñëîâåíà".

Ok, I tried to fix the track listings. I hope they show up properly; it all depends what character encoding a user's browser is using.

As for the titles of the albums, I've sent off a report for each demo/album.

Hopefully that fixes the problem. :)
