Thanks, I think at this point an actual translation of the stuff would be more what I'm looking for. I've poked around in Russian fandom enough to start recognizing some Cyrillic characters, enough to grasp when Tolkienish names are being used (I saw one that evidently said Gorthaur also!)

Did you learn to read Cyrillic somewhere, or just start studying it yourself? It seems a useful thing to know and I keep meaning to learn more about it.
