I don't have the solution but maybe I can give you a useful clue. The D characters are most likely the utf-8 encoding of the Russian text, when displayed as if it is latin-1. So something in the system is converting the text to utf-8 and your console probably has latin-1 or cp1252 encoding. Some details might help - how are you running the program - console, IDLE...? What OS? What are the values of sys.getdefaultencoding() and sys.stdout.encoding?
