This looks like you are using a program incapable of dealing with unicode
clipboard. To achieve better results, switch your input language/keyboard to
matching language before copying text from application. I.e. switch to
Russian then copy text, then check what is returned by getclip.
But then, why LC_CTYPE is en_US?
