Hi, Gleb Hlebov!
I read your message from 16.09.2024 11:42

 GH> It's set to 866 in its "native" software. If you're using an NNTP
 GH> client under Linux it should be KOI8-R.

 GH> For tin, add/edit the line in tinrc as follows:

 GH> mm_network_charset=koi8-r

Modern and even not very modern NNTP clients can also be tuned for UTF-8. In
this case you must use a FIDO gate with UTF-8 support, like this for instance,
which I use for many years (Thunderbird mail client):

news.dewy.ru

PS: You must add a Russian keyboard of course in your operating system.

Bye, Gleb!
