For Russian, it _is_. It's all the same as for you. When I need to start typing 
Russian rather then English (or whatever Latin-based language), I just press 
right Ctrl button once, which switches the keyboard. The alphabetical buttons 
are labeled twice each on Russian keyboard, so having switched the 
keyboard I just proceed typing without any modifiers, but the same buttons get 
completely different effect when pressed. For example, "G" gives "ð" when 
Russian keyboard layout is active.
