What html renderer do you use?  I.e., what value is set to
the `mm-text-html-renderer' variable?  It defaults to one of
the symbols (of the actual libraries) `w3m', `w3m-standalone',
`links', `lynx', `w3', and `html2text' first found in your
system.  Some of them or some of those older versions won't
support multilingual text.

I seem to have no problem in reading those Russian feeds, though
I'm ignorant in Russian.  I use:

(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m)

It requires the w3m package and the emacs-w3m ELisp package
(the ones I use are those of the bleeding edges).
