Once again: Cyrillic bold characters not rendered by Pandoc

["'Marek Stepanek' via pandoc-discuss" <pandoc-discuss-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@public.gmane.org>]

Hello all!

Sorry, I already asked this question here. But I could not resolve this problem. I would be **very** grateful for a solution. If there is no solution, I have to switch to LaTeX - and this will be hard for a three hundert page book. 

Pandoc does not render bold face in Cyrillic. I just tried to put my Markdown document into LaTeX - and it is working! 

Here my Minimal Working (or not working) Examples:

1. in LateX
2. in Markdown
3. Makefile for Markdown

***

\documentclass[fontsize=12pt,a4paper]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[russian,english,french,main=ngerman]{babel}
% \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
% \usepackage[T1,T2A]{fontenc}
% \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\bigskip

\section{Wir, Russen, haben zwei Heimaten: unser Russland und Europa.}

\selectlanguage{english}

Chapters in \textbf{Cyrillic} are not bold. Text between two asterisks are not rendered bold. Could somebody help me out?

I tried with 

\begin{verbatim}
	  --pdf-engine 	 xelatex								 \
\end{verbatim}

Second Question: how to comment out lines in a Makefile?

Thank you for your help!

\selectlanguage{russian}

\section{У нас, у русских, две Родины – наша Россия и Европа.}

\textbf{Выхожу один я на дорогу;}\newline
Сквозь туман кремнистый путь блестит;\newline
Ночь тиха. Пустыня внемлет богу,\newline
И звезда с звездою говорит.

\end{document}
