Sorry, but there is nothing in texinfo.tex to load Cyrillic fonts, or
really anything but ISO Latin 1 and a little of 2 and a tiny number of
other characters.
It's a serious deficiency. Maybe the only short term solution is to
generate the PDF from the HTML output somehow? (I don't know how, but I
suppose it's possible). Also, searching for "cyrillic texinfo.tex"
turns up some possible patches from Werner Lemberg and others. I
haven't investigated in depth.
There used to be a separate texi2latex program (texi2latex.nongnu.org)
but it hasn't been updated for some years so likely doesn't work on your
source. You could try.
Long term, I hope we will have a LaTeX back end in makeinfo. It's not
practical to try to support everything in texinfo.tex. (An incomplete
attempt is in texinfo/contrib/texifont if any serious TeX hackers get
interested, though.)
(Also sorry for the delayed reply.)
