This is a font problem. The default font in Squeak lacks Cyrillic characters.
If you paste the Russian version and make it a string and inspect it, as in 
	'[[ru:Планктон]]' inspect

you will see that from index 6 on, the Unicode codepoints of the Cyrillic characters are actually correct, but just cannot be displayed.
