When I open any page in Russian I see that there is too much space between letters and between lines.

Current Opera doesn't have this problem on the same system.

This makes it much more difficult and uncomfortable to read.

In 3.0 cyrillic text display somewhat changed.
But font is still too sparse.
Firefox either renders the text wrong in this font or the font is bad.

Firefox should do better job rendering cyrillic texts.

Ok, let's name it fixed. Fonts look much better now than at the time/version of the original post.
