There's a package for DOS called DOSGOST, which implements the GOST
Russian standard.  It includes a Cyrilic screen font, and a TSR to
convert the keyboard to use the standard Russian layout.  

The TSR works fine with micro-emacs.  Alternatively, you can use
DEMACS with my russian.el package.  I also have filters for converting
the GOST standard encoding into something TeX will understand, if you
want to go that route.  The DOSGOST package includes hyphenation
patterns for Russian, so you can use TeX.

[If you prefer Unix, you can still use my russian.el file under GNU
Emacs to enter Russian, but you'll need a russian screen font.  I use
Linux, and I have patches to let that use DOS codepages, so I can use
the screen font from DOSGOST.]
