I have Red Hat 8 installed.
I need it to understand russian, which means to read, to write and to show to show filenames in russian, but not in ?????.

I don't understand your question? Can you ellaborate a little bit more? Are you wanting to learn Russian or know how to use Russian language with Redhat? Cause if you don't know how to speak Russian and wanting to learn how, I think you have the wrong forum for that.

He needs to know how to install and set up all russian language and character support.

Well... thanks to Proud.
I really meant how to add russian support to Red Hat 8.
I can read russian in html or in OpenOffice, but have not succeeded to write or see file names in russian.

Did you install the language support you wanted on install?
Language Selection

If not, that would be the first step. I don't know if Redhat still has gnorpm or not, but you might be able to install it easily with that if you have it installed.
