yes, I use UTF8 (in the source via TS preferences restarting TS each time
and creating new files for reliability) but it affects neither Adobe Reader
nor PDFKit based browsers (I tried several encodings to be sure).

\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[unicode]{hyperref}
\usepackage[unicode,pdfencoding=auto]{hyperref}

again, it affects neither AR no Preview (or TS)

Also I tried
\usepackage{cmap}
again, it affects neither AR no Preview (or TS)

Including

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

returns an error

In the attached example second link works

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
%%%\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
%\usepackage{cmap}
%\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[unicode,pdfencoding=auto]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\href{http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Физико-математическая_школа_им._М._А._Лаврентьева_при_НГУ}{Physical
Mathematical School at Novosibirsk State University}.

\href{http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/}{Russian wikipedia}.
\end{document}


PS The second URL always works (used for comparison)

PPS Checked with Skim (does not work, no surprise--it is Apple PDFKit based
as well), TeXWorks (works, it is poppler based)


Probably someone should file bug repport with Apple
