Use a Cyrillic font, the same way you would use an English one. If you don’t speak Russian, you’ll probably have to print out a character map to locate the letters.

If you use a Unicode font (like e. g. Palatino), you will have thousands of characters available in the font - including all Cyrillian characters.

The tricky part is, how to enter the font characters in a fast (not time consuming) way.

I would switch the keyboard layout to a Cyrillian keyboard layout, while entering the Cyrillian lyrics.
