We were faced with the same problem, and this is what we figured out:
Flowstream have different versions of UGLY Cyrillic fonts.
Linotype has planned making Cyrillic fonts, but it is very far away in
the future in their scedule. 
Bitstream does not even want to answer if they have fonts or not. They
just say something like "we don't sell fonts to end users". That when
phoning their advertised number.

Our conclusion:
You have to make your own, if you want nice ones. (Scanning in and
outlining)
