This is the result of grep Stefan recommended:

  /local/share/X11/fonts/xrus-1251/fonts.alias:-cronyx-fixed-medium-r-normal--2-20-75-75-c-12-iso8859-5 -cronyx-fixed-medium-r-normal--2-20-75-75-c-12-rawin-r

So your assumption looks correct, and I need to set the REx to

  "-cronyx-.*-iso8859-5$"

The document I presented on the newsgroup,

  http://www.siber.org/sib/russify/x-windows/#win-fonts

shows that this particular misconfiguration may be very much
widespread; it is needed to make Netscape "work".  I recommend putting
the above REx in the default value of face-ignored-fonts.

BTW, It would help if the docs mentioned that the REx is matched
against the *alias*.  It would also help to mention that the match is
not anchored, and is case-insensitive...

BTW, this grep (of WHATEVER/fonts.*) did not pick up any fonts.dir
file, only fonts.alias file.  I'm puzzled...
