I *think* you can use Character-mapping to translate from Windows-1251 to UTF-X... although I'm unsure if it has to be the same character-size.

Failing that, maybe Matreshka -- http://forge.ada-ru.org/matreshka -- has something for it. I haven't used Matreshka [yet] but there's supposedly a big Unicode/manipulation library in it.
