I used urlencode on cyrillic part and produced pdf contains link recognized
by Preview.

Unfortunately tooltip in Preview shows Chinese characters -- exactly as if
I insert link with Acrobat (even if I tried to load fontenc and inputenc
and camp) while tooltip in Adobe Reader shows Cyrillic characters.

I am not sure anyway why non-PDFtoolkit based browsers (kpdf, AR, texworks)
have no grudges against plain vanilla URLs while Preview and other PDFKit
based browsers have problems.
