The old Russian keyboard is a bit difficult. Finding the letters or memorizing where they are takes time and makes typing hefty. Many might need it and for those who doesn't know could use these instructions.
Luckily I found out about this while searching on Google for a while. And it took me a while to install it. A few months ago my one and half year old daughter had stepped and stomped my only laptop and most of the keys stopped working. Anyway I have used it for few years it may have already been time for replacement. So it was time decide between good old Windows or Mac which I'm new to. Then again I thought everybody is using Mac nowadays so I shall learn. And bought my Mac. In the beginning I struggled a bit. Frankly even now while I try to write about how I installed it I can't recall. So searched the internet for a while. I could not find any latest articles or blogs from Google, and I thought does everyone know how to except me, is that why I can't find it? Or things are changing this fast. Finally I figured it out. It's all in images so anyone can understand. Hopefully it'll help someone. I often used http://krilleer.blogspot.com whenever I needed to type Cyrillic. If not I had to use the old Russian keyboard. I had even got the stickers for my keyboard. So here goes.
