Install Midnight Commander,

mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/a -o codepage=866,iocharset=koi8-r

,
But still in Midnight Commander show '??' of russian file names.

In locale.gen after I install glibc be uncommented this text: "ru_RU ISO-8859-5",
But I uncomment 'ru_UA.UTF-8 UTF-8'.
Then run locale-gen.
Then in rc.conf is that text:
LOCALE="ru_RU"

So you uncomment ru_UA.UTF-8 but set-up the rc.conf to use ru_RU?!???

So, what's the locale you'd like to use? If you use the russian language then you have a ru_, if you are in Ukraine then it's ru_UA. , if you are in Russia it's ru_RU., if you want to use the UTF-8 charset (highly recommended) the whole locale name would be "ru_RU.UTF-8" or "ru_UA.UTF-8".

So whatever locale you choose, it should be listed in "locale -a" and set-up in rc.conf.

In /etc/locale.gen you need either (or both, it doesn't hurt) of:

ru_RU.UTF-8    UTF-8
ru_UA.UTF-8    UTF-8

And please reboot once after setting up all of this, just to make sure everything is initialized properly.

BTW, in the Linux console I use the cyr-sun16 font, which is unicode and contains cyrillic letters for all of the cyrillic using languages(and looks nice too). So in rc.conf I have:

LOCALE="mk_MK.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Skopje"
KEYMAP="mk-utf"
CONSOLEFONT="cyr-sun16"

Shouldn't you also uncomment the other ru_* stuff?

ru_RU.KOI8-R   KOI8-R
ru_RU.UTF-8    UTF-8
ru_RU  ISO-8859-5
ru_UA.UTF-8    UTF-8
ru_UA  KOI8-U

After all English only works if you also uncomment the ISO-8859 entry.

No. User needs to uncomment only one entry (of course if all user profiles use the same locale).

From all cyrillic charsets ISO is one of the most rarely used.
