Do you read this mailing list? :) Roman Belenov <roman@nstl.nnov.ru>
asked the same question on 12 Nov 1999 (see <5779.991112@nstl.nnov.ru>)
and i already answered it (see <m3aeogyk4l.fsf@vvv.vsu.ru>).

Yes, pgnus IS a suitable mail tool for Russian. It already supports
koi8-r and ALL other possible charsets: the support is quite generic,
and not gnus-specific.

For example, this message sent from pgnus, comes in koi8-r.

To send messages in Russian in koi8-r instead of iso-8859-5, put the
following magic line into your ~/.emacs (or ~/.gnus) file:

(put-charset-property 'cyrillic-iso8859-5 'prefered-coding-system 'koi8-r)

 SP> Test koi8: проба
