Shorthand, use RTFcontrol for cyrillic. VFP can't support more than one codepage at a time, but RTF control should be capable of that.
Depending on the other languages, if they don't use stuff outside the low-end ASCII, you can do the whole app in cyrillic. To have the cyrillic show up, you also need to set the codepage 1251 as the default codepage on your machine. On W2k, it's enough to set the cyrillic input locale as default.

If you need to support languages such as Baltic, Western, Centraleuropean and Cyrillic at the same time, no way using native controls in VFP. You may try with non-native controls, like whatever comes with Forms.
