OK, I did the following: I went to cmd.exe and changed Active code page from 437 (latin1 ?) to 65001 (UTF-8 ?) but there were no changes in the behaviour in Cygwin terminal. In cmd.exe itself it handles Russian and German itself just fine also with 437 code page. For BabelMap -- I do not see how it can be useful for regular input of non-English string and not just one single character here and there. And again -- it is not something that was present from day zero or somewhere close in Cygwin, it worked just fine on my old laptop, I migrated to a new one and this is what I see for the first time.
