I think the best would be to check for the default language locale - if ru_DE is not available, take whichever ru_* is the default - i.e. ru_RU.
There is other problem for Russian: ru_RU is ISO-8859-5 locale, I do not think it is that most Russians expect. So it shold be ru_RU.KOI8-R. If not, one should change charset in console configuration (but other locale - ru_UA - have KOI8-U charset).
