Can`t change "Current locale setting":
I try change encoding to "UTF-8" in installation progress OR/AND on "settings page"-
But i see (on overview page information)- only "Russian_Russia.1251"

Russian symbols show correctly, BUT not in archive page, btw,
"Gallery Archive 2011 ������ (29)"

Please, Any ideas?

You cannot change the locale--that comes either from your browser or from the language you have selected. Since we do not have a Russian translation the second option is not available.

Also, local and language settings are dependent on support of your server, so if it does not support the character set there is nothing we can do.

In general you should use UTF-8 for the character set. If that does not work, try one of the Cryillic sets.

In inc-header.php (in your theme folder) you can try to change charset=
to
charset=.

I have added [i]zpMinimal[/i] to your topic title so that the author of this theme may respond.

Actually our translation feature is dependent on the locales installed on your server. If you wish to use an language your server does not have support for it will not work.
