[R] Can't read data coded in Cyrillic

[Dan Winetsky]

To whom it may concern,

I have a database (an SPSS .sav file) with some vectors containing strings
of words in Cyrillic. My console, however, doesn't seem to read Cyrillics.
 If I type Привет into the console it shows  Ïðèâåò as I'm typing.  
Please
note that courier new, my console's default font can encode Cyrillics
elsewhere on my computer (e.g. MSWord and Chrome, from which this email is
being sent).  Please help me to understand why R can't do this.

Thanks,
Dan
