Which version are you using?
And does this happen with the original Android keyboard?

Now I am using version 20100328-x-dvtel(r 17)  but the same was happening with 
previous versions. The problem is not happening with the original keyboard. The 
same 
is happening with my husbants Moment and our sons Hero. That makes me think 
that we 
are doing something wrong. Please, help.

@dbriskin, you are using cyrillic fonts too, right?

Unfortunately can't test this out because I don't have SMS/MMS included with my 
Data
plan, so I've never used the Messaging app.  I use Google Voice instead (which
includes free unlimited texting within the US) and Cyrillic texts come through 
just
fine there.

Apparently it's an issue with the stock Messaging app in all Android versions 
prior
to 2.1, according to this thread:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3393 (see post #11).

I'm not sure if using 3rd party SMS apps (such as Handcent) would help, but it's
worth a try.
