Which program are you talking about here?  If it's a bash console window,
the X fonts will not affect it -- you have to select a Windows font in
Properties that has cyrillic characters in it.  If it's rxvt or xterm,
then indeed you'll have to use the X fonts (at least in the X mode of
rxvt).

Furthermore, are you talking about *displaying* cyrillic characters, or
*inputting* them?  If the former, try "cat"ting a file containing those
characters and if that doesn't work properly, look at the first paragraph
above.  If the latter, see <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC49>.

P.S. For the "ls" problem, try the --show-control-chars parameter. ;-)
