See `gnus-group-posting-charset-alist' and the "Charsets" node in the
Gnus manual.

But it seems like Gnus already prefers to send koi8-r in the fido7.*
and relcom.* hierarchies -- are you talking about different Russian
groups?

I'm talking about these hierarchies. Gnus uses UTF-8 for them ignoring
`gnus-group-posting-charset-alist'.

Ah, right.  I didn't remember correctly ... `gnus-group-posting-
charset-alist' is not the way to prefer a charset.  That option only
says how a charset should be encoded.

To prefer koi8-r over utf-8 you can do a number of thing:

* Start Emacs in a Russian locale.
* Set the language environment in Emacs: `C-x RET l Russian'
* Customize `mm-coding-system-priorities'.
* ... there are probably some more ways.
