Where you cannot see cyrillic? On web pages? In mail messages?

Can you see yrillic in other X applications?

Anyway, there will be problems even if you'll setup all correctly.
Netscape is buggy. The only way to see cyriliic in pop-up messages on web
pages, in subjects of mail and news messages and in some other places is to
completely erase non-cyrillic fonts from your computer and make cyrillic fonts
looks like iso8859-1. You have to copy cyrillic fonts to other directory,
"mkfontdir" there and edit fonts.dir, replacing koi8-r to iso8859-1.
Than add this directory to fontpath in XF86Config and remove old iso8859-1
fonts direcory from fontpath. 
Do not forget restart X or do "xset fp rehash".
