In /usr/share/i18n/locales/ru_RU
LC_MONETARY
mon_decimal_point         "<U002E>"
mon_thousands_sep         "<U00A0>"
..
LC_NUMERIC
decimal_point             "<U002C>"
thousands_sep             "<U00A0>"

Are the values correct?

If you have a test machine you can experiment editing that
and do 
# localedef -i ru_RU -f UTF-8 ru_RU.UTF-8
