hi, all.
i have solved the problem. the Russian language pack from Downloads had incorrect locale set in the Admin\includes\languages\russian.php. it has to be set for ru_RU.UTF-8 instead. Good luck.

Same thing happened to me when i'm entering products name in Japanese, using the Japanese Language pack. Can anyone shine some lights as to why the products name is being cut-off? eg. when i enter 10 characters, it only shows 6 characters after i saved the product. Thanks!

Access the database via phpmyAdmin and go to the products_description table. In that table is a field called products_name, which is set by default to VARCHAR(64) characters (32,672 bytes). You can change this limit keeping VARCHAR or you can change the type of field to 'text' or 'blob' - either of which will allow you many more characters.

Always backup your db before working on it.

NOTE: if you change the length of the products_name in the products_description table, you also need to change it to match in the orders_products table or you will lose the fixes made in the products_description table ...
