[R] Russian language in R

[lyolya]

Hello, 

I am experiencing a problem in reading a database in Russian. The problem
appears when it comes to char variables. I have already tried changing the
encoding, i.e.

options(encoding="UTF-8")

and

options(encoding="KOI8-R")

but every time there appear to be something unreadable in the data frame,
like \x82\xa2\xae\xef etc. 

Could you please answer whether it is possible to operate with Russian
strings in R, and, if yes, how to get to do that. Thank you, in advance. 

Olga.
