You can only use locales that the host operating system supports.  On
Windows you can use Windows-style locales, on Linux you will need to
use Linux/POSIX-style locales.  So ru_RU.KOI8-R is probably a good
choice, although other people more familiar with the matter may give
you better advice on a good choice of particular character encoding
combinations in heterogenous environments.
