I don't think so; but there are several possible solutions:
Possibility 1: Use a different keymap (or make one, see the example I
sent), so that { is not mapped to Russian ha. I map Russian ha to h or x
(Latin x or Latin h), and I can do that because, with my choice of
Cyrillic layout, there is no conflict (I use % as a "dead key" prefix
for ya yo yu and eh oborotnoye, as well as for che sha shcha and soft
sign, which frees that many keys for something else -- respectively, a o
u ye, tse es kha and apostrophe -- when not immediately preceded by %).
And I used that because there was no obvious "phonetic" mapping for
those letters.
Possibility 2: Get rid of that remapping in X (it's unhealthy to have
numpad keys mapped to something else). Probably move it to some AltGr
combo (let's say AltGr-( or AltGr-[) if you have an AltGr key.
Possibility 4: Keep everything as-is, but toggle keymaps off when you
need the brace. Do that by hitting Ctrl-^ in Insert mode, or if you
don't know where that is, by means of the mappings I provided in an
earlier post.
Best regards,
Tony.
