Russian RTF files are in Win 1251 encoding, they are not Unicode. That is one problem. Let's say, you have some flavor of firmware that supports 1251. Even then there is a problem if there are pictures in the RTF files. Pictures are not supported in RTF, and the pictures in the "library" RTFs can royally mess up your Reader.

My advice, download FB2 and convert it to LRF or EPUB, and you will not have problems, and you will have the pictures too.
