Try unify-8859-on-decoding-mode, which changes the behaviour of your
input method.

Alternatively use unify-8859-on-encoding-mode, than cyrillic-iso8859-5
is preserved during input, but still can be saved as UTF-8.  Of course
you get UTF-8 when you load the file again, so you will need font
support for that anyway.
