1) You need to a Russian language defination file.  I will send you one
provided you give me.

     The iso-* character set used for your language 
     Any nonword characters that can appear in a word such as a dash 
     Any other special considerations for you language such as allowing
run together words. 
     A small word list of around 1,000 words so that I can test things
out.  

2) You need to deaffix the aspell word list:
  ispell -e < ispell-word-list > aspell-word-list.

3) After you have the language file in the right place you will need to
compile the word list.  See section 3.3.
