Also, how can I make correct cyrillic letter show up on my screen? I typed the phrase in the above post in cyrillic, but it looks like nonsense now.

I am really sorry - I've just noticed your new message...
Excuse me please.

You can turn on Cyrillic by doing View-Encoding-Cyrillic in the menu of the browser. You wrote that sentence right (though in Russian, not in Ukrainian) but the sentence itself is a little wrong. If translated it will sound as "Dogs don't mud of water". Maybe you should try "Sobaki vody ne boyatsya" - "Cобаки воды не боятся" or "Vody sobaki ne boyatsya" - "Воды собаки не боятся", which are the same.

Sincerely yours,
Olexiy

Thanks for you help. How would you write it in Ukrainian?

It is similar to Russian in my case:

Води собаки не бояться
or
Собаки води не бояться

But it is different in your sentence:
Собаки бруду не води,

which is, as I said before, senseless. I must note you've made a certain progress in studying Russian...
