Viktor, I found this reference which has some background information
regarding koi8-ru and other cyrillic encodings:
http://segfault.kiev.ua/cyrillic-encodings/
"This charset wasn't supported by Ukrainian Internet community due to
political reasons; KOI8-U was invented as opposition to KOI8-RU."
Provided that resource is correct, it also appears that its inventor
Yuri Demchenko now switched to KOI8-U as well:

So I guess, we can close this request and leave the codec attached to
the ticket for interested parties to download and install if they need it.
