You may try to play with Windows shell object (to do the actual renaming, because I'm not sure that Rename command would respect Unicode), and strconv() function to convert from 1251 to Unicode, probably by converting to DBCS first, then to Unicode. The locale ids are a mess - the numbers are not coming from the same table as the codepage numbers, so you may need to read the help for strconv() to look them up.

You may need to make sure Cyrillic is included on your machine - check the regional settings, available language support.
