You mean typing Russian on a Japanese keyboard?  I didn't know about
such thing.  Why option were you using to achieve that?  I guess you are
talking about X keyboard layout, right?

An appropriate keyboard for what?  The particular keyboard of that
laptop or typing russian on a japanese keyboard?  (The latter would
just be a consequence of the above).  In general, never assume we know
anything about localization cases, as most of us don't are not from that
localization, so although we usually have an idea, we usually don't know
all the details.
