It's easy to find an example -- I went to the english Wikipedia,
searched for "elephant", then clicked on the russian link at the left.
It gives you "Слоновые", which I see on my terminal as a series of black
squares :-) so there's not a single latin letter in it.

http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%D0%B5

In that page they also mention the word "Слон" which looks like "Slon".
