the font you're using probably doesn't have all characters
implemented.  for example the standard font used in the default
lib/profiles (/lib/font/bit/pelm/euro.9.font) doesn't have those
characters.  

use the 'unicode' command to verify.  'unicode 0x400-0x500' will print
the cyrillic alphabet.

you can use any of the unicode fonts there, or download
some of the unix ones (10646) i have converted:

the font i use daily is /lib/font/bit/10646/7x13/7x13.font; here's how
cyrillic looks with it:

it's a completely different driver.
