I would like to get information in an KeyValuePair:
Key – Value
text –
direction – re
and so on.
And how to convert this: Hello+%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%82+%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%...
there are cyrillic character.
Thanks.

If you want to use a Regex, you can do it like this:

// I only added the first 3 keys, but the others are basically the same
Regex r = new Regex(@"text=(?<text>.*)&direction=(?<direction>.*)&orfo=(?<orfo>.*)");
Match m = r.Match(inputText);

if(m.Success)
{
    var text = m.Groups["text"].Value; // result is ""
    var direction = m.Groups["direction"].Value; // re
    var orfo = m.Groups["orfo"].Value;
}

However, the method suggested by BoltClock is much better:

System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection collection = 
    System.Web.HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(inputString);
