Hello,Leonid.
Glad to hear there is specialist on Lynx Cyrillic:
The following is a reply from Leonid Pauzner, the lynx developer most
expert in Cyrillic display. He does not subscribe to doslynx-dev, so
future questions of this nature would probably best go to lynx-dev.

I've downloaded the unreadable
page, There is no charset at the header. I think the shortest way for me is
to
copy working LYNX parameters. I can send you this problem page. Have you
got enough time to try to browse it with your LYNX?
Eugene.
