After all packages are downloaded and installed you go to Main Menu - Setting - All - Language - Language Setting and choose Russian written in cyrilic then you look for locale if it starts with ru and you in Russia it's fine click Apply, if you are in Ukraine then go to Advanced click on Russian written in cyrilic than click Ukraine, if you in Russia and want to make sure the proper locale is chosen go to Advanced click on Russian written in cyrilic and next click on Russian Federation than Apply.
