If it's allowed in your server you could try something like this for the specific page in your .htaccess
file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^основной-момент.htm$ category.php?slug=ru
In Regex if the character set is enabled on your server you should be able to use the range for the characters:
RewriteRule ^([A-Яа-я-]+)\.htm$ category.php?slug=ru
To capture the phrase you would use this (just like English):
RewriteRule ^([A-Яа-я-]+)\.htm$ category.php?slug=$1
Another way is by detecting the language
#For users with Russian as their primary browsing language
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^ru [NC]
RewriteRule .* category.php?slug=ru
Additionally if you're using a dynamic language on the server you should be able to use the REQUEST_URI
var for parsing and determining the intended language as Apache serves the content and programming languages (like PHP or Perl) can do more with parsing.
