If I run

I get this error:

The same happens when running initdb.exe
Looks like the utility just cannot access its own file because of the
russian characters.
Try running it using 8.3 path names. Every file and folder in NTFS has
2 names - one "natural" and a secondary "short" DOS 8.3 name+ext format
name. You can see short names using DIR /X in a console. The short
names should be ASCII (subset) only.
E.g., on my system pg_ctl is in C:\program files\postgresql\9.6\bin.
It's short name is C:\PROGRA~1\POSTGR~1\9.6\bin\pg_ctl.exe
These short names don't permit spaces or non-printing characters, so
they can work in situations where the natural name may not.
