While Wikipedia's licence sucks¹ I can recommend the
Gentium font for sans-serif and cyrillic, it's sort
of free even.

Now that you mention it, yes.
I changed them back(?) to "Serif: serif", "Sans-serif: sans-serif",

The Cyrillic font picked for Wikipedia articles sucks (it's
mono-spaced), but I haven't looked into that.
