base-config 2.35 already calls cyr with -t for KOI8-R. 

I do see a problem with Russian in base-config using 2.35; I get mostly
line drawing characters and other high bit characters, and no Russian.
This does not sound like the problem you described though. I've tried it
with cyr called with -f and -t with the same result either way.

I'm sick to death of termwrap problems, and someone else will have to
deal with this.
