Desvydanya (or similar) - goodbye
Stoi - stop (that was from when OH was reffing a match with Russians and he guessed that if he could only learn one word, that wouldn't be a bad one!)

Could you use babelfish website, or similar?

Trouble is, they have their own alphabet, so I'm not sure how the engraver would do.

Good luck

Babelfish won't handle cyrillic.

Karen - PM me what you want to write . . . I have translators all over the world including Russia.

Blimey!!! Last time I looked (2 weeks ago) it didn't have Russian in the listing .

Still, be careful using that for more than single words it does litteral translations only.

Indeed. It's a long way from 'just a cat site'. I would have got bored years ago if that was the case. (the cats are nice though!)
