If I understand correctly, polyglossia+fontspec is preferred over babel+fontenc
for XeLaTeX (don't know for LuaLaTeX). But, looking at documentation
(russianb.pdf), one can find that XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX are supported, but need
some changes for minimum working example:

- from section 2.2 of russianb.pdf for LuaLaTeX one should use
\usepackage[lutf8]{luainputenc}
instead of \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

- from section 2.3, XeLaTeX needs additional command "\XeTeXinputencoding ”bytes”".

The first (LuaLaTeX case) works for me, but the second failed because
correspondent letter definitions aren't found in font file (also I have a
warning in the log file that inputenc shouldn't be used with XeLaTeX). If
solution will not be found before, I'll make more experiments with XeLaTeX later
today.

(Also both sections contain example for "Unicode mode", when fontspec is used.
Both LuaLaTeX and XeLaTeX works for me, when I use Liberation Serif as main font
(I haven't CMU Serif installed now))
