Set it to ru_RU.UTF-8 or else the keyboard will continue to generate
KOI8-R encoded Cyrillic.  Or better just unset it.  Your en_AU.UTF-8
locale should be able to handle Cyrillic.

Because Unicode is the same as ISO 8859-1 in the interval 128-255 and
the non-ASCII part in KOI8-R is (ofcource) in this interval.
