 I can't reproduce that. `user_nicename` is used in author archives URL and
 is based on a sanitized version of `user_login`, not on `display_name`.

 `user_login` cannot contain Cyrillic characters by default, so
 `user_nicename` does not either.

 Even with a plugin like [https://wordpress.org/plugins/allow-cyrillic-
 usernames/ Allow Cyrillic Usernames], `user_nicename` contains a URL-
 encoded username (`%d0%b8%d0%b2%d0%b0%d0%bd-%d0%b8%d0%b2%d0%b0%d0%bd%`),
 not raw Cyrillic.

 [29819] is the only change in 4.1 that might be relevant here, but it does
 not affect core behavior. You probably have a plugin or a function
 changing the default user registration sequence somewhere on your install.

 > Search in cyrillic fails because the name in column user_nicename was
 translated

 No, it fails because `display_name` is not included in the list of fields
 to search by default. It can be added with the
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/user_search_columns
 user_search_columns] filter:
 {{{
 function wp31583_add_display_name_to_user_search_columns( $search_columns
 ) {
         $search_columns[] = 'display_name';

         return $search_columns;
 }
 add_filter( 'user_search_columns',
 'wp31583_add_display_name_to_user_search_columns' );
 }}}
