[OS X TeX] Russian characters contained in included .pdf do not appear in compiled document

[Manuel]

David, the included pdf was not made with TeX and no additional text is compiled when numerating its pages. Changing the encoding and babel options does not affect the outcome (I tried it just in case). One of the pages in the included pdf document contains a russian word in cyrillic characters, which just dissapear in the compiled document. 

I suppose that theoretically the included document should not be changed if all TeXShop does is to add headings (page numbers only), but in this case something does –a word dissapears– and I don't find an explanation.

I get the cyrillic characters courtesy of the Apple "International" keyboards; it puts a flag of the country you want on the menu bar. When the Russian flag shows, the keyboard is Russian, and so on.
