Try
apt-get install console-cyrillic
This package contains cyrillic console fonts and keyboard mappings.
UniCyr font probably be the best choice for you.

You should select cyrillic font for your xterm, it is enough for most
terminal applications. Try one of the fonts contained in xfonts-cyrillic,
xfonts-bolkhov-75dpi and xfonts-bolkhov-misc packages.
Note that for lynx you should explicitly specify encoding:
CHARACTER_SET:koi8-r
ASSUME_CHARSET:koi8-r
ASSUME_LOCAL_CHARSET:koi8-r
