Unfortunately, no.
There are two general encodings of one russian language - koi8-r for
Free*NIX users and windows-1251 for Win-based (other ones are not
significant - commercial UNIZes using ISO 8859-5, Mac, DOS - their
owns)
One SGML source in Russian (e.g. in KOI-8) usually used for producing
HTML output for Web (encoding does'nt matter - it only must be
specified with
ContentType in header or <META>), TeX->PostScript->PDF (using UNICODE,
I guess),
and .rtf for document exchange with windows-based partners or
customers.
Target RTF must be in Win-1251 - then MS Word can open it correctly.

There's situation. Jirka written about the same in Czech.

One of solutions - using environment variable - e.g. TARGET_ENCODING
( SP_ENCODING? ) or customized stylesheet direction for specifing
output
encoding and doing symbols converting while producing output
on-the-fly.

Chapters, articles and other works properly now, (but I've tested it
with HTML & RTF only). Alexey Vyskubov <> said that
he can't produce
correct PS/PDF with SP_ENCODING=koi8-r setting. I don't know what he
meaned exactly.

Attached document has cyrillic koi8-r encoding.
