I tried just a moment ago to typeset russian in a machine where I have
only Hans standalone for Windows (mswincontext) and had no problem to
get a correct output.

1. I started scite (cscite.bat)
2. Opened a new tab
3. Select "UTF-8" in menu File/Encoding
4. Inserted the Russian example [1] for MkIV example from wiki in my tab
5. Added "% engine=luatex" at the begin of the file
6. Saved the file on my disk
7. Choose the "Process TeX file" from the Tools menu.
8. Got a pdf file with russian text.

The only thing I think in the standalone was to update to the last  
current
and used a newer LuaTeX version (0.30.3).
