[OS X TeX] Russian characters contained in included .pdf do not appear in compiled document

[David Derbes]

This works for me when I need to put in a few Russian words. You have to encode using unicode (UTF-8) in the TeXShop preferences, I think. I get the cyrillic characters courtesy of the Apple "International" keyboards; it puts a flag of the country you want on the menu bar. When the Russian flag shows, the keyboard is Russian, and so on. 

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[russian,english]{babel}
\begin{document}

\selectlanguage{russian}
\begin{center}
брест\textbf{и}, брод\textbf{и}ть
\selectlanguage{english}
to roam, wander (\emph{501 Russian Verbs}, p.\,15)
\end{center}

\end{document} 

which looks like this: (I enlarged the font to 18 point so it would be easier to read, and generated it with LaTeXiT)
