To be fair, as far as unicode goes, cryllic is kind of the easy case (no combining characters, no rtl, etc). In some ways its even easier than (non-english) latin scripts because in latin you can get easily confused with windows-1252 where things sort of work where if you are accidentally using a legacy 8bit encoding with cryllic you are more likely to figure that out quickly.
