That last couple of days I have been looking everywhere on the
Internet for the original Cyrillic or transliterated libretto of
Rimski-Korsakov's Sadko, yet it seems terribly hard to find it (or
even a reference to it).
I'm particularly looking for the Song of the Varangian Guest, also
known as Song of the Viking Guest or "Песня Варяжского гостя",
transliterated as Pesnja Varjazjskogo Lostja (at least, that's my
guess).

Is there anyone that can provide me with this part of the libretto? I
would be very grateful.

Ok, please don't mind the nonsensical characters between the quotation
marks. Apparently something has gone wrong with the character sets.

I've got them perfectly :-)
It seems you can write them, but not read them when getting your own
message?!

Exactement! But a logical thinking exercise about the use of UTF-8 and
ISO-8859-standards would lead us to far off subject.

However, I have just found the complete libretto (and an accompanying,
terrible headache) using www.google.ru for a couple of hours. For
anyone who would be interested: the libretto can be found by clicking
the subjoined link.

Kind regards,
