Single quotes are exceedingly rare as quotation marks in Russian, and
likely Ukrainian and Belorussian. (I cannot speak for other Cyrillic
languages.) German-style „…“ or English-style “…” curved double quotes
are used as second level quotations.
On the other hand, I cannot see anyone expecting to get a double quote
by typing a character looking like a single quote.
On the third hand, the default Russian keyboard layout does not
contain any single-quote-like characters at all. (Unless you count the
comma.) A typographic assistance feature that requires two layout
switches per occurrence is not likely to see any significant use.
