???????
And I'm sure that it's not an encoding problem because I tried different
encodings.(In reply to comment #1)

Yes, it's an encoding issue. en.wikipedia.org and a few others are currently encoded in 8-
bit Latin-1 and cannot include Russian characters in literal output. The Russian text, when
selected, is downconverted from UTF-8 to Latin-1 which fails, producing "?"s on output.
This is fixed in MediaWiki 1.5, which will convert the remaining Latin-1 wikis to UTF-8.
Resolving as FIXED, fixed-in-cvs.
