The lack of a Cyrillic alphabet is among the most notable obstacles in teaching and learning Russian language through a computer. This paper examines the possibility of creating the Russian character set using a "programmerless" authoring language, SuperPILOT, which allows a teacher or a learner to produce and use the Russian alphabet with no programming skills.References
