Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Translations in Ubuntu are handled by the Ubuntu Translations project, so we are going to move this bug report over to that project.

If this is about incorrect encoding handling then Russian translators
can do nothing.

Some protocols (e.g. ICQ) store account information in 8-bit encoding. Pidgin displays this information in ISO-8859-1. This is not something translators can fix.

Not fixable. Not by us at least. This is a bug in Pidgin itself, report it to them.

For ICQ: try windows-1251 encoding in account properties.

It is fixed in Pidgin 2.7.0 with cp1251 encoding set in preferences.
