Russophile,
I just downloaded the first portion of the text to Russian FAST and it opened fine. But I use the Foxit Reader rather than Adobe. Someone else may be able to provide advice on how to get the PDFs to work with Adobe, but in the meantime, you might want to try downloading Foxit and seeing if it does the trick. (It's free and a VERY small download; my wife and I have been using Foxit for several years now because we had trouble with Adobe, and it always seems to work fine, and in our experience substantially faster than Adobe. So you might do a search for it and see what other people have to say; personally, I think it's a great program. Whether it's the answer to your particular problem or not, I can't say, but you might give it a try.
In any event, good luck
