"Uzky Tonky Grotesk" - I've dated a couple
The most exhaustive reference list for Cyrillic fontmania one could ever hope for, featuring the most pleasing font name ever - "Uzky Tonky Grotesk", which translates rather disappointingly as "Condensed Thin Sans[-Serif]". I find that widely-used Cyrillic fonts tend to suck a lot of ass, and it's not only because I am not a native Russian speaker that Russian text can be very difficult, visually, to read. I suppose it's due to the blockishness of and lack of variation in printed Cyrillic letters - no hilly horizons as there are in the Roman alphabet.
