You can't use cyrillic letters in HTML node IDs, so you need some kind of
transliteration.

There is a transliterate package on PyPI [1], though I have never used it
myself. Maybe it's possible to make toc extension use it (if it's available,
of course), or make it possible for extension users to hook their own custom
text processing functions (which will use i.e. that module)?
