Yes and no.
You can create Excel files containing any Unicode characters, including
Russian.
But you don't get to choose the encoding, it has to be UTF-16. That's
specified by the Excel file format, it's not a limitation of POI.
Java represents all Strings internally using Unicode anyway. So, provided
you have your Russian characters in Java String (and how it gets there is
not POI's problem :) ), you can add it to a spreadsheet as follows:
cell.setEncoding(HSSFCell.ENCODING_UTF_16);
cell.setCellValue(myStringContainingRussianCharacters);
