Well, I could never get cyrillic to work in xterm either, but only in gtk
or qt apps. I don't know why it is, maybe it has to do with the lack of
locale. So I just gave up long ago trying to use xterm (mlterm has the
same issue) for this.
Sorry I cannot be of any better help.
If anybody know how to solve this I'd be very interested to know too.

On my system, to use cyrillic in X I did not add any cyrillic fonts,
but just these lines in xorg.conf (InputDevice section):
Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru(winkeys),de"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:lwin_toggle"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
This way you can toggle the russian keyboard with the left Windows
key. It does not work with xterm just like that, you need uxterm or
you can use roxterm or gnome-terminal etc.
I'm trying to use TrueType fonts for xterm. The problem is xterm does
not display cyrillic correctly. However, in the same time, almost all
gtk and qt apps display cyrillic correctly.
This problem still exist yet. I see no advices.

I have add string 'FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/"'
into xorg.conf, then I execute fc-cache. However, these fonts
unavailable in X. What is going wrong?
fc-cache -v
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
