How do you set the locale? Can you check in the ctrl-midle-click popup
that you really set the correct locale? Also, can you check with the "locale"
command wether the locale you set in your environment really exists?

It seems to, but this isn't the case.

do you ever export LC_ALL? otherwise, it will likely not be set when urxvt
runs.

Yes, urxvt doesn't support the proprietary microsoft codesets (they have
never been standardised), just use the iso10646 or koi8-* versions of
terminus (or let urxvt choose a font).

urxvt doesn't support any encodings at all for terminal output, it uses
the ISO C functions in your libc for this. This means that if something
goes wrong, it is either a configuration problem or a limitation in your
opertaing system.
For example, on GNU/Linux systems, koi8-r and cp1251 are certainly
supported, as long as you configured the locale correctly and told urxvt
to use it.

You cna use xterm if you like, but xterm likely will have similar problems
in your configuration.
