Thanks for the help, it turned out that the following solves the
problem:
(set-terminal-coding-system 'iso-8859-5)
That's because in my .Xdefaults I have this:
==
Rxvt*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-20-200-*-75-c-100-iso8859-5
xterm*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-5
==
(iso-8859-5 is the standard cyrillic encoding, although it is much less
used than the Microsoft non-standard cp1251 aka windows-1251)
