I explicitly reverted the buffer in UTF-8 (though I know it is):

        C-x RET r utf-8 RET yes RET

`describe-char' on the Cyrillic characters from the file shows this:

  character: а (3664, #o7120, #xe50, U+0430)
    charset: cyrillic-iso8859-5 (Right-Hand Part of Latin/Cyrillic Alphabet 
(ISO/IEC 8859-5): ISO-IR-144.)
 code point: #x50
     syntax: w  which means: word
   category: y:Cyrillic
buffer code: #x8C #xD0
  file code: #xD0 #xB0 (encoded by coding system mule-utf-8-unix)
    display: by this font (glyph code)
     -cronyx-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--18-120-100-100-C-90-ISO8859-5 (#xD0)

Note the file code, it is UTF-8!
