According to X11/extensions/XKB.h, modifier mask bits starting at  
(1<<13) indicate group state.  (See XkbBuildCoreState() which builds  
an event value when Xkb is active.)  I *think* you want this; while I  
don't know the Russian keyboard layout, xmonad's default key bindings  
are less than mnemonic if you're using the Hebrew or Arabic layouts :)  
so you may want to define a separate, mnemonic key mapping for use in  
Russian.

(The flip side of this is if you change the group number the Russian  
layout maps to, you need to make the same change to your xmonad key  
bindings; this strikes me as bad.)
