to Nikolay Pavlov:

You are absolutely right!
But I know that I will never use the word "АУЬ" (FEM in Russian
keymap) in Russian language, since it can not be even an
abbreviation.
So for the few macros I have liked to use in English
I just tried to make the analogue in Russuan:
In file
~/.vim/ftplugin/latex-suite/elementmacros.vim
I found the command:
if g:Tex_FontMaps | exe 'call IMAP ("FEM", "\\emph{<++>}<++>", "tex")' | endif
and created another one:
if g:Tex_FontMaps | exe 'call IMAP ("АУЬ", "\\emph{<++>}<++>", "tex")' | endif
(FEM and АУЬ occupy the same physical keys on the keybord for
English and Russian keymap)

But ... it does not work((

Finally I wonder why is it only me who tries to use vim-latex
macros in Russian on other languages???

I understand your critics of vim-latex mappings:
it may happen that you will need FEM in your text, f.e. FEM as an
acronym for "finite element method",
but anyway there is a need for such macros: it is much easier to
type FEM and get \emph{<++>}<++> than typing it directly,
not to mention `/ for \frac{}{<++>}<++> etc.

Thank you!
