It is not an UTF-8 locale. Isn't there something like ru.UTF-8?

Now the keymap/hurd file contains:

xkb_keymap "ru" {
    xkb_keycodes        { include "xfree86"             };
    xkb_types           { include "default"             };
    xkb_compatibility   { include "default"             };
    xkb_symbols         { include "en_US(pc105)+ru"     };
    xkb_geometry        { include "pc(pc102)"           };
};

Change this into:

xkb_keymap "ru" {
    xkb_keycodes        { include "xfree86"             };
    xkb_types           { include "default+hurd"        };
    xkb_compatibility   { include "default"             };
    xkb_symbols         { include "en_US(pc105)+ru+hurd"};
    xkb_geometry        { include "pc(pc102)"           };
};

Although I have not tested this yet (at the moment I cannot test it,
sorry), but this should work.

Thanks,
Marco
