If you had set it to ru_RU.utf8 you would have had no problems. So, it's not a bug really, it was only caused by your custom locale settings.
Locale ru_RU.utf8 I chose to install Salix OS and no longer changed.

Yes, that's what I thought, too. As far as I know it's also common to set it to C as it then provides consistent sort orders and prevents unexpected (/unwanted) behaviors. Look at the comment in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh.
It's set to C here too btw and I guess for you too.

Why isn't it set to C for me then?
And you're right, LC_COLLATE shouldn't change the mount options. Does mounting usb in xfce work properly with vfat for you Germans? I'll try to check for russian later, but I don't see why it works fine here by default and doesn't work for Andyun.

Because your a nasty hacker and don't keep things the way they're supposed to be like by Patrick.

Yes, it seems so with Thunar. I could create such folders and they would display properly "ääää$&&" and "üüüüü".

Shador, did you also check the mount options?

I just tried here with a russian locale and it works fine, without having to edit the mount.rc file. Still no idea why it doesn't work for Andyun. Anyone else having the same problem?
