I was looking for a clue on how to use cyrillics in an english text and vice versa. Finally I found a solution here: Cyrillic in (La)TeX
The solution looks like this
\documentclass[article, 12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1,T2A]{fontenc}
%\usepackage[cp1251]{inputenx}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenx}
\usepackage[russian, english]{babel}
%\usepackage{cmap}
However it does not hyphenate the russian part of the text. How can I help this?
