Well, I would consider thge following as a possible solution. Save your
signature file as non-Unicode Windows Cyrillic. Use some (re-)encoding
software to make it KOI-8. Use
%COOKIE="C:\pushkin-signature-your-plain-non-unicode-koi8-r.txt" :).

I personally would recommend Decode by Boris Berdichevskiy,
http://www.borisba.com/~borisba/decode21.zip (that page is unfortunately
Russian only, but the program interface is in English.) I can send you the
latest version by personal e-mail if you wish. This software is free. ZIP
archive, something about 250 KB. Doesn't need installation; unpack it, and
you're done.

I sincerely recommending his software to everybody Cyrillic-(and other-)
encodings-challenged. (For the record, I am in no way associated with its
author.)

Regards,
Maksym
