Please elaborate about "it doesn't work" or "it is wrong" which don't tell that much.

What command/application are you launching ?
What isn't working as expected ?

Code:
# export LC_ALL=ru_RU.ISO8859-5
LC_ALL=ru_RU.ISO8859-5: is not an identfier

That's because you are using the default non standard compliant shell.

Use ksh or bash instead or, if you prefer to stick with the featureless one, run:
Code:
export LC_ALL
LC_ALL=ru_RU.ISO8859-5
run your command here

I should use only C Shell.

Code:
# export LC_ALL
# LC_ALL=ru_RU.ISO8859-5
# locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.ISO8859-5"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.ISO8859-5"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.ISO8859-5"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.ISO8859-5"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.ISO8859-5"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.ISO8859-5"
LC_ALL=ru_RU.ISO8859-5
#

After reboot again:
Code:
# locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=

You shouldn't but anyway:
Code:
setenv LC_ALL ru_RU.ISO8859-5
launch your application here

I have tried launch the application thereafter.
The application is launching with fonts coding error and locale not saved.

What are these font coding errors ?

Setting the environment variable doesn"t persist. This is done by editing /etc/default/init and rebooting.
