== To use Russian (Cyrillic) in ConTeXt MkIV, you need a font that has cyrillic letters, e.g. the DejaVu fonts and UTF ==which are shipped with the [[ConTeXt Standalone]].
It is now possible (from ConTeXt version 2005-01-27 or 2005-01-31) to type Russian (cyrillic) letters directly in your .tex file using UTF-8 encoding. I have only tested this on TeXLive 2004, but I guess it would work on any distribution as long as you have the cm-super fonts installed (On TeXLive you had to generate the tfm files needed using the <ttcontext source="yes" mode="mkiv">afm2tfm</tt> application (see furhter down on this page for a small python script that enables you to create all tfm files), or by using the fonts in LaTeX). Here is a minimal(?) working file.\setupbodyfont[dejavu]
