If you're using UTF-8 character set, you need to execute "stty iutf8", so that a "stty -a" reports back "iutf8".
For non-UTF-8, the command to be executed is "stty -iutf8" and accordingly "stty -a" should report "-iutf8".

Gnome-terminal sets this according to the initial character set of the terminal, but does not (could not reliably) update this if switching encoding later. I assume your profile is set to KOI8-R by default and switch to UTF-8 during runtime, is that correct?

Please try what happens if your profile is configured to have UTF-8 by default. It should work out of the box then.
