Probably not. Russian characters in metadata have worked fine for me at 
least for as long as I've had such tracks in my library. I'm not sure if 
the filenames have Russian characters, too, but at least it works with 
other tracks with UTF-8 in both filenames and metadata (for example 
Greek and Japanese).

Someone mailed the list just recently about a problem with Japanese in 
the metadata, and apparently the problem was with the character encoding 
within the metadata. Are you sure your mp3 tags are really UTF-8 and 
that the MP3 files know that, too?
