<rss version='2.0'>
<channel>

change the encoding line 92 in include/inc_ext/rsswriter/rss10.inc.php
from echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> to
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1251"?>

maybe importer has problems when encoding of feed is not iso-8859-1 or UTF-8

Can you send me a link to a Russian RSS feed. I will check that. A charcode conversion has to be done to work properly.

OK, I think I have fixed it.

download and expand following file into
include/inc_ext/ConvertCharset
http://www.phpwcms.de/support/ConvertCharset.zip

and replace function parseRSS in
include/inc_front/front.func.inc.php
http://www.phpwcms.de/support/parseRSS.txt

This converts charset found in RSS file to UTF-8 entities.
