Dennis hi
Unfortunately I do not have enough time to look at this deeply, but anyway -

This VM is fine. I'm using it on windows xp with russian support enabled.

I assume these workarounds are also fine, if you are able to enter Russian
text. However I don't see UTFClipboardInterpeter in Pharo, so you should
have a problem with copy/paste. You can fileout it from squeak 3.9 though.

MultiByteFileStream doesn't know the encoding of the file and it uses system
encoding as its best guess. 'TextConverter defaultSystemConverter' should
yield ->an UTF8TextConverter in your case. If it does not - you may try to
set an instance of UTF8TextConverter as a converter for MultiByteFileStream
(instance side API).

Now these marks. To display Russian text you have to enable unicode font in
places where you'd like to see it. For panes it is probably 'default text
font' which needs to be set. You did it, right? Do you see, let's say, text
rendered with Arial font in newly created workspaces?
