"I don't believe that they contain no cyrillic glyphs." can be taken as:
1. I do believe they contain some cyrillic glyphs, or
2. I believe they contain no cyrillic glyphs.
In fact, while statement 2. may be true for the origial Adobe fonts,
many systems can produce Cyrillic glyphs when asked for "Times"
(because they substitute an augmented version of a free URW font), so
statement 1 may also be close to the truth.

I don't know about Utopia, but for the "LaserWriter 35" fonts, most
free software actually uses URW fonts that have been scaled so the
metrics match the real Adobe fonts. As well, many additional glyphs
have been added to the URW fonts used, e.g., for linux distros that
want to support more languages. A modern TeX system should be able
to typeset Cyrillic with the URW font that resembles Adobe Times (and
may even call this "Times"). CTAN, however, has the original URW fonts
(lacking the added glyphs commonly found on linux), so this route
probably isn't widely used. It should also be possible, even
straightforward, to install the fonts and supporting files from linux
to a local texmf tree for use with MikTeX.
