I agree it's strange, and wonder why.

No need for a hook: There is an auto charset selection feature in
$send_charset itself.

It's generaly true, but not always. Some mail readers might choke on
the unknown for them label. Like show the mail as an attachment, or
require download and installation of a cyrilic support pack before they
display the US-Ascii text.
It's cleaner to use the best adapted charset label to have better
chances to be easely read everywhere.

I don't know what's optimal for Russians, but can propose:
| set send_charset="us-ascii:iso-8859-1:koi8-r:utf-8"
