. . . and do Russians still do mathematics?

I guess not, since there is no Cyrillic counterpart to the AMS extensions

also, chemists sometimes like to put a superscript over a subscript
will that still have to be done using rich text?
or maybe we need another extension . . . ?

 Mathematics written in Arabic notation use
 Arabic-Indic numbers and
 Arabic letters and
 they can occur in superscripts and subscripts as
 well.
