This method isn't great, but it works.
If you convert your text into text that uses a Cyrillic coding scheme
like KOI-8, WynCyrillic CP1251 or DOS Cyrillic CP866, Stata will be able
to read it as text and display it properly, if you also have the
corresponding font installed. The reason is that these encoding schemes
are extended ASCII, i.e., they use ASCII codes 0-255. These are 8-bit
codes, which Stata will support.
Just convert the text you are using into one of these encoding schemes,
and set the Stata display font to use a font employing the same scheme,
and it should work.
Cheers,
