No. Russian uses completely different characters from English. Thus when
it finds the English work "Microsoft" it looks for the closest match.
Since none of the Russian works even have the same characters it chooses
"Linux" since that was probably the only word which shared any of the same
characters. You likely have added "Linux" to your personal dictionary.
