<ahem> I see where you are coming from but that is somewhat misinformed - equating Cyrillic alphabet to Russian language. It's thereabout like doing the same between Latin alphabet and English language (e.g. calling ASCII "the English alphabet").
Let me shed some light: about 250M people in Europe and Asia use Cyrillic as official alphabet and only 1/2 of that is Russia. The rest are mostly Slavic countries: Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belarus, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Ukraine - but there are some decidedly non-Slavic countries too, like Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan (see list and map here).
@ukrkoz, you will likely get a formulaic answer by RokuCo that if you need some esoteric :mrgreen: script, you can add your own TTF fonts. I think it is worth consideration by the Co. though: an expansion of international support - since Apple, Google and Amazon in their competing products have no hesitation about addressing the international market at large.
PS. Huh, TIL: even in Alaska they used Cyrillic once upon Tsarist times (not a shocker really, considering a certain later inter-state real-estate transaction)
