This depends on the "engine". 

If you can use XeTeX or LuaTeX, just tick

 Document>Settings>Fonts [ ] use non-TeX fonts

and select from any of the systemwide installed fonts.


With "traditional" (8-bit) tex engines, you need to install special fonts
in one of the T2A, T2B, or T2C "font encodings" and select them in the
LaTeX preamble. (BTW: In TeX, "T1" is a font encoding for Latin, so you
cannot have a "Cyrillic T1 font".)

For Debian, I know of the "scalable-cyrfonts-tex" package that provides
Times/Helvetica/Courier lookalikes that used to be part of the TeX Gyre
fonts until they were removed because of license reasons.

The page http://milde.users.sourceforge.net/substitutefont/
shows an example how to re-combine these fonts.
