Uhm, no.

UTF-8 has finally solved the problem with the veritable zoo of commonly used Russian encodings (KOI-8, Win-1251, GOST, GOST-ALT, ISO).

Well, nobody (citation needed) ever used GOST or ISO encodings.

GOST was used quite a lot in the pre-Internet era and surfaced periodically afterwards, in random places like receipt printer encodings.

ISO was used sometimes in the Internet. It was rare but it existed.
