Scott,

Obviously, only people who read the alphabet it's written in and who 
have their machine set up to deal with the character set will be able 
to read the thing. So if you can't, don't. But it doesn't follow that the 
posting shouldn't be here, available to those who can make use of it.

For your information, it's Cyrillic.
