In Tractor Works, Russian troops in building X3 are fanatic. Does this make them immune to the effects of encirclement? Thanks!

No.

A7.7:
"A qualifying target Location is thereafter marked with an Encirclement counter and every non-berserk, non-heroic enemy/Melee Personnel unit therein suffers an immediate one level drop in morale to both the attack that sealed its Encirclement and any other attacks made against that Location as long as it is so marked."

Heroes don't suffer the morale drop, but do they suffer the fire penalty?
A qualifying target Location is thereafter marked with an Encirclement counter and every non-berserk, non-heroic enemy/Melee Personnel unit therein suffers an immediate one level drop in morale to both the attack that sealed its Encirclement and any other attacks made against that Location as long as it is so marked. All fire by an Encircled unit is subject to a +1 DRM on the IFT (or To Hit DR if ordnance). The MF cost of the first Location entered (regardless of phase) by an Encircled unit is doubled (after all modification). Should other enemy units enter an Encirclement Location

I think the only part they avoid is the morale drop but wpuld like confirmation.

Seems like the rules specify only exemption from the ML drop.
No mention as to the attack detriment.

So what you're saying is... :)

All other effects of Encirclement still apply to Heroes, berserkers, and the Japanese.

G1.62 MORALE:
Japanese are exempt from taking PAATC (inclusive of A12.41) and the NTC for an Infantry OVR (A4.15). They do not Disrupt, nor will they surrender in the RtPh. Unbroken Japanese treat LLMC as LLTC, and if Encircled do not have their Morale Level lowered by one.

Yes, that is my understanding. It cropped up where we had an encircled unit that produced a hero and then went fanatic...
It just seemed a bit odd that the hero would be affected by this.
