LANG Locale Environment Variable how to change?

Question

Debian

Good afternoon, I'm trying to understand the LANG values ​​​​in linux mint 18. Actually, I want to set LANG locally and added it export LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8to ~/.bashrc, I reboot but nothing happens. The question is, what should be after the replacement?
PS I downloaded the required package

.bashrc only works when you log in to the system either via ssh or in the console. If you log in in the schedule, then it may not work. In this case, the locale is selected in the list of locales during the login itself and is specified depending on the type of login manager.
Well, the general locale for the entire system is configured in /etc/default/locale and dpkg-reconfigure locales
