Not a blocker.

How is this different from bug 13317? What is your locale? How is your keyboard
configured? What was the last version of Wine that worked?

Bg 13317 is a duplicate of this bug. It was the first application where I found
this bug, and later found it in other applications.

In 0.9.61 all worked well. The keyboard layout is Russian-winkeys and it works
in Linux applications.

Executing command 
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 wine notepad
Works well. Russian characters can be entered without problem. If start without
"LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8", the characters cannot be entered.

"ru_RU.utf8" is illegal locale. Use what I posted above - "ru_RU.UTF-8". This
bug is invalid.

Feel free to re-open this bug if russian keyboard input still doesn't work
for you in a properly configured russian locale.

Why did you closed it? I still do not know how to make it work! And it is a
fresh installation of Fedora, with Russian working properly in any other apps
except Wine.

In the comment #6 you said that setting locale to ru_RU.UTF-8 works for you.

Does 'xev' (X11 event testing program) show correct keyboard input?

Yes, it works, but how to change the locale? Shouldn't Wine use the locale
format that used in major distributions (such as Fedora Core 9 in this case)?
Why should I manually change configs that I even do not know?

Please ask that questions on a user support forum of your distribution.

Most likely that's not a Wine problem, but an X11/glibc one. Wine uses glibc
APIs to handle locale, and X11 ones to get keyboard input events.

You haven't answered the question about 'xev'.

It seems that there is no Russian forum for Fedora. In Enlish-language forum
they say they have no problems with English.

Yes, xev displays characters correctly. Does not work only in Wine.

It would surprise me if there were problems with english language support.
What about russian linux forums and news groups? Google is able to find
/etc/sysconfig/i18n as well.

    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:

It's clearly shows that xev doesn't work, XLookupString returns an empty
string.

I'm marking this bug as invalid.

As has been said numerous times you need to properly set your locale.
