+mbyte is required for Unicode support as well as for any 16-bit encoding.

Russian letters in the konsole requires a UTF-8 (or Russian-localised) konsole 
and a console font (set outside of Vim) which includes the necessary glyphs.

You may want to use the following for diagnostic purposes:

vim -u NONE -i NONE -N
        :lang
        :lang cty
