How do you know? I've checked these ones and I don't see a cyrillic letter in their name:
Arslanov, Vasily Artem'eva, Lidiya Baranenkova, Taisiya Baranov, Eduard
Very low tech answer: when I get the confirmation email and read it using putty using a windows machine, the name appears with an illegible blurb for all capital A's. And in those cases, the search does not find there works, even though they got the right name variations (except for that letter).
Try with Аnatolij Ivanovich Аrkhipov. A manual search for A. Arkhipov (as cut-and-pasted form the name variations) yields no result. When I type A. Arkhipov myself, there are 7 results, including 3 with the exact name variation...
The Arkhipov case is clear -- that's the one you've pointed to in the original case (by forwarding the confirmation mail). You seem to have claimed all of the registrations at http://edirc.repec.org/data/derasru.html have the same problem. I ask: how do you know that all of them have it? Because I checked some and found no problem. Maybe there's just 5 or 7 of them and, then, is it worth bothering?
Well, I noticed it for all capital A for authors of that institute. Somebody must be registering them.
Anyway, a check for combining cyrillic & latin letters can be done, and I can do it after the already agreed upon items under a separate statement of work.
I have no further budget for this.
