There are no shortcuts seem to be working when Russian layout is active.

I change layouts with <Super>+Space.

Ubuntu 21.04.

Which shortcuts did you try and they didn't work?

Thanks.

So you mean that keys with modifiers (Ctrl, Meta, etc.) don't work?  I
think it's a known limitation on X (it works as expected on
MS-Windows).  Emacs reads the keys on a level where retrieving the
hardware keys and then translating them to the English equivalents is
not easy.

You're right, any keys with modifiers don't work in Russian layout on 
Emacs, but some of them do work on the Terminal in Ubuntu (at least keys 
with <Ctrl>), so I can for example type command on the terminal: "sudo 
apt update", switch to Russian layout then press <Ctrl+A> or <Ctrl+E> to 
move the cursor to the beginning/end of the command. Combinations with 
<Alt> key don't work for me either on the Terminal.

You could use the package https://github.com/a13/reverse-im.el
or help us to implement the same natively in https://debbugs.gnu.org/43830
