Can someone tell me how to translate the title into Russian? Everyone keeps mentioning the Russian transliteration table, but I don't need "Tropa zmei", I need "Тропа змеи". And when I type that in the alternate title box, it shows a message about not supporting the symbols:
"This item has been rejected. You need to correct this item before it will be accepted"
How do I get past this annoying error?

The movie I'm talking about as an example is https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0241588/.

Please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/alternate-titles-akas/GBFBWTQG2RLMHSUR?ref_=helpms... specifically the section "9. Character set variants" and within that:
original Cyrillic KOI8-R title -> The Cyrillic title used on the title card of the film in the original country of the film corresponding to the country/language attribute and using the KOI8-R character set.

For an example of this in action, see https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0015648/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf#akas and then looking at the details via the "Edit page" button:
