It looks like there was a patch [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/vim_dev/windows8%2420ime/vim_dev/JhtPJhOdTKo/E2d5RcIwL2AJ] which was included in 7.4.142. From now on, I can type `chcp 1251` to change to cyrillic codepage and then start terminal Vim. As a result, now I can see Russian symbols as I type them, i.e. no more question marks instead. Nevertheless, it is still not possible to see such fancy symbols as ones coming from Powerline. The problem is likely that codepage 1251 simply does not include them. If so, then the only way to truly support Unicode with terminal Vim is to support the 65001 codepage - true UTF-8 codepage. Currently, if one tries to start terminal Vim with this codepage active, one would experience random Unicode symbols all over the place on the screen as the support is obviously broken. I would still appreciate if Mr. Moolenaar could directly comment on this issue here.
