I "need" nothing ;-). I even can't read russian (and I hope the text
doesn't say something indecent). But "translittered" hyphenation
patters could be interesting for the OP on tex.stackexchange.

I personally was only curious when I saw in the answer of egreg the
hyphenation remark, did some research and now I'm curious about the
discrepency between the actual behaviour and the statements of
Jonathan in the old thread. Did I misunderstood the statements or
did the behaviour of xetex change in between?
