Russian books (and menus) on the Reader?

I saw a 505 for sale on eBay that has "support for Russian language" installed by the seller. The menus and a couple of displayed pages are shown in Cyrillic. Is anyone reading books in Russian on their Reader? (Has anyone installed such "Russian support"?) If so, can you also have English books installed simultaneously?

An older post here also mentions the fb2lrf converter. Some info for that is at http://www.msh-tools.com/ebook/fb2lrf.html. Is this all that's needed to load Russian fb2-format books onto the Reader whioch will be displayed in the proper fonts?

Also, does anyone know a site or source for free Russian books in fb2 format? (This info is so I can give the gf a killer present next month. She loves old, classic stories, etc., so I imagine there will be some available in Russian that are free of copyright. I want to pre-load her Reader with a bunch of Russian books/stories of the box.)

Thanks in advance....

Thx.
