I have seen a TSR spell checker and grammar checker for Russian that
will work with most ASCII-based russian systems.  It's called "ORFO"
and works very nicely in WordPerfect running with CRS from Cornell.

As you can imagine, any "spell checker" in an inflected language must
also be a very intelligent grammar checker.  This one will take a 
phrase like "istoria vtoraya mirovaya voina" and bleep you saying
"genative case does not agree" and offer a correction.  It comes loaded
with all the EXCEPTIONAL verb and noun declensions in Russian and a
facility to learn.  Basically, if it encouters a new noun, it will 
prompt you for the genative singular and the nom plural, and then
figure out the rest.  For a new verb, it will ask 1st person singular
and past tense or something and then figure out the other cases.  Very
nice product.

The author is Oleg Georgievich Grigor'ev from "Informatik" in Moscow.
His Moscow number is 290-35-24 (w) and 299-99-04 (h).  As of a year
ago his US distributor was at (602) 634-0656.  His Moscow address
was 103104 Moskva/ul. Ostuzheva/d.7 korp.2
