really don't know, yes, it is possible that I had Russian installed & enabled
in the (far) past ...

yes, they are not there:
$ LANG=en ls /usr/share/locale/ru/entry.desktop
/usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/kdelibs4.mo
ls: cannot access /usr/share/locale/ru/entry.desktop: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access /usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/kdelibs4.mo: No such file or
directory

yes, after installing kde-l10n-Russian it says "Ruský"

... just to take the string from "all_languages" file?

well, now I guess this has more to do with another report, bug #230108 ...
