Serge, you don't have any problem entering Cyrillic letter Zhe in other
applications (e.g. dtterm) on Solaris, do you? What if you log on with
'ru_RU.UTF-8' or 'ru_RU.KOI8-R' locale?

Yes, all solaris application works well, even a staroffice :)
Please take a glance to the following table, which shows working
status of letter zhe in a different Solaris Russian Locales:

locale            works?
ru_RU.ANSI1251      yes
ru_RU.ISO8859-5     no
ru_RU.KOI8-R        yes
ru_RU.UTF-8         no
