I've checked this pdf for Russian. Unfortunatelly, it looks very bad,
images are too small, all Russian text used monospace font and
as I can see distance between letters and words is the same.

I tried to build PDF for version 1.8 on my laptop (Slackware64 14.0,
texlive-20120701, sphinx installed in virtualenv as recommended in
README) and it looks much better. But I can't build PDF from
master branch, as

make pdf LANG=ru

failed with message

mkdir -p output/pdf/ru
# need to build 3x to have proper toc and index
# currently texi2pdf has bad exit status. Please ignore errors!!
# prepending the texi2pdf command with - keeps make going instead of quitting
# japanese and russion have problems, when build with texi2pdf
# as alternative we can use platex
# on Debian available in package 'texlive-lang-cjk'
