Russian yes, Hebrew no.
You have to start up brltty with the following:
brltty -t ru
Note: You must add this  to the other startup parameters you use.
If you use Russian and Italian, I fear you have to restart Brltty when
changing braille table.
Did you set up Ubuntu in order tho show Russian correctly (character set
etc.)?
