Sorry, but BasiEgaXorz only has the Latin alphabet, this means: support only for english, a bit of spanish, italian... but not Russian, and unfortunately, there is also no Unicode/custom codepages support...
Your options?
- Load an alternative font, convert your russian letters to english equivalents, and map each letter to one tile of your alternative font.
- Create your own custom textwriting routines... Remember, there is no Unicode and no Russian support! You're alone in this quest...

If Russian has an 8-bit character set (koi8?), then it should be enough to create a custom 8x8 font, and upload it to the appropriate place in video ram. In BEX, the font is at the VRAM addresses 1-255, I think. After doing that, just use the Russian text with the PRINT statement, just like with English text.

Just for information. Russian has only 33 symbols, and (in case of capital letters) 12 of them looks same like english ones (ABEKMHOPCTX). Two of 33 symbols is not very necessary, and can be replaced by other two. In early russian home computers was used mixed ASCII-based charset (96 symbols), where was only capital letters, both english and russian (instead of lower-case english). All russian and english letters (both capital and lower-case) easily fits in full charset (256 symbols), also with many additional symbols. Most popular codepages for russian charset is CP866 (MS-DOS), ANSI1251 (Windows) and KOI-8R. Some another codepages also exists, but they not so popular.

That's good: since ASCII uses 256 characters, you can overwrite the default BEX font with a Russian one, and use a sort of "converter" for convert from Russian to some odd "mapping"... You can write such "converter" in VB or C, put your text, convert, paste and compile.
Sounds pretty complex, eh? It's not too hard, but requires some work.
