Cyrillic Hostnames?

As the title suggests, I'm wondering if its possible to set a hostname to a name or word with Cyrillic letters (e.g. - Like the Russian alphabet). I tried installing the cyrillic-console package in Debian. I switched my desktop to Russian as well. However, when I try to set the hostname I get that this is invalid:
Code:
$ hostname Этропия
hostname: the specified hostname is invalid

I know Cyrillic domain names just started a few years ago. So it would not surprise me if this just isn't possible. Maybe I need some package to enable UTF-8. Either way I tried searching online and haven't came up with anything yet.

Any advice appreciated.
