The conversion is pretty simple in most cases all you have to do is to change the following line from:
\documentstyle[cyrillic]{article}
to a line that now takes two commands:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{cyrillic}
You will also often need to replace some old control sequences to their newer equivalents; most of these concern fonts:
| LaTeX 2.09 | LaTeX 2e |
|---|---|
| \Bbb R | \mathbb R |
| {\bf bold text} | \textbf{bold text} |
| {\it italicized text} | \textit{italicized text} |
| {\smc small-cap text} | \textsc{small-cap text} |
(Note, however, that \emph{...} is preferred over \textit{...}.)
