Convert Text to Fake Cyrillic

Faux Cyrillic is the use of Cyrillic letters in Latin text to evoke the Soviet Union or Russia. This is sometimes used in book covers, film titles, comic book lettering, artwork for computer games, or product packaging by switching Latin letters with their Cyrillic look-alikes. One such example is the film "Borat", that had the title in the posters written as "BORДT".

The Fake Cyrillic Generator makes it easy for anyone to convert text into faux Cyrillic. For instance, converting "Flour Power" results in "FLФЦЯ PФШЗЯ" and my name is "ДИTФЙIФ FДЯIИHД" in Fake Cyrillic.

Now it would be even cooler if there was a tool to render a whole website this way. It would look something like this, but readable by English-speaking people.
