Then if you did it this way

localedef -c -f IBM866 -i ru_RU ru_RU.cp866

and both server and the terminal client use 

export LANG=ru_RU.cp866 

and Display Bits are set to CP866

you should be able to view the files without translation.

I don't have a suitable server / client to test it, but it should work.
