ZFR: Hooray! Problem fixed, without having to resort to shoddy translation.

After ages of playing around and extracting HoMM3 data, I finally got it. The solution was to replace the fonts with ones that support Cyrillic characters.

I zipped all the new necessary font files here:

Download the above zip file and then extract all font files in it into the Data folder of your Heroes 3 complete.

Note, this will change the text font of your game. To put it back to original, simply delete those files.

Tested on my DVD copy of HoMM3, but I don't see why it shouldn't work on GOG version too. You have the GOG version, right? Could you test and confirm?

fret_man: So, what do us English speakers need to do to play Paragon 2.0?

If you still find any weird characters, or question marks (????) or if anything is translated really badly, or doesn't make sense, or is a copy of some other text (I might have made a mistake when copy/pasting), let me know and I'll give you the original Russian text.
