How do you work in Emacs with a keyboard that generates Cyrillic
characters?  All the commands are in English, responses to prompts are
also in English, etc.  Don't you switch the keyboard language to
English anyway?

IOW, it sounds like the path to the "ideal world" is a tad longer than
just binding keys in Dired.
