espeak-ng -v ru "Выберите местонахождение"

seems to be producing the same output, so reassigning to espeak-ng.

Hum, that's bad. Does it help if we slow the speed down? E.g.

espeak-ng -s 100 -v ru "Выберите местонахождение"

Possibly it's just the default speed which is bad for russian. Trying
translate.google.com, it seems that -s 100 provides the same kind of
speed.
