Read chapter eighteen, “Pycckar Kphntororhr,” which is the best approximation of a Russian character set that I can do in English text.  This chapter covers the more robust systems of the Russians.  There is a system described on pages 650-654 that should afford one some security.  Also on page 666 there is an interesting mention of microdots.  The chapter concludes with a description of the nickel message on pages 669-670.  Takes about 2.5 hours to read.
