*experiments*

Apparently in order to use Cyrillic in !Dict, as opposed to Netsurf, I
need to set Alphabet to Latin1 and set Keyboard Russia (as opposed to
UTF8 and UK)....

Having successfully typed in a string to the reduced Dict window and
pressed Return, I get a window popping up (with a jumbled Latin-1 title,
presumably because, as I've noticed with Netsurf, RISC OS doesn't
support non-Latin characters in title bars) which says

1 definition found at pkgs4unix.org

From Словарь синонимов Н.Абрамова [abr1w]:

  error: The request is not a valid UTF-8 string
  

Same result from dict.mova.org.

A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
