Re: Bold Type in Cyrillic not working in Markdown to PDF

[John MacFarlane <fiddlosopher-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Try using `--pdf-engine=xelatex` and adding `maintfont:` to your metadata, specifying a font with good Cyrillic support. 
You could also try using L[aTEX commands that set a special font just for Cyrillic, e.g. (untested)

\newfontfamily\cyrillicfont[Script=Cyrillic]{Times New Roman}
