Confirmed.  The JS and Python implementations behave differently.

This is a tricky problem.  It reopens Issue 47.  The question is what should 
the delimiter between words be?  When it was non-alphanumeric, Russian failed 
completely.  When it is whitespace, it is too restrictive (as you noted).

Taking a closer look at Python's str.title() function reveals that it fails the 
Russian case.  So we've basically got a no-win scenario.

I'm going to declare this a "Won't Fix".  Good bug, though.
