This might be something new with google or it might be something I'd simply not noticed which became possible two years ago, I don't know.

For instance a quick search on "pushkin skazka o tsariye Saltanye" (in cyrillic characters which able2know does not seem to be able to handle) turns up a mountain of hits and all kinds of the fabulous artwork Russians typically use to illustrate Pushkin stories, e.g.
