I can help you only with console because I use only GNU Emacs
with mule in X.
1) install console-tools;
2) add following lines to /etc/console-tools/config:
SCREEN_FONT=Cyr_a8x16
SCREEN_FONT_vc2=Cyr_a8x16
SCREEN_FONT_vc3=Cyr_a8x16
SCREEN_FONT_vc4=Cyr_a8x16
SCREEN_FONT_vc5=Cyr_a8x16
SCREEN_FONT_vc6=Cyr_a8x16
APP_CHARSET_MAP=koi8-r
APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc2=user
APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc3=user
APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc4=user
APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc5=user
APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc6=user
3) in user's profile:
LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R
export LANG
4) copy one of the russian keymaps from /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/
to /etc/console-tools/default.kmap.gz, f.e ru4.kmap.gz
5) add to /etc/inputrc:
# Be 8 bit clean.
set input-meta on
set output-meta on
6) execute following command:
loadkeys ru4
I hope this will help.
