Could you properly format your post using code blocks for code and terminal outputs? Thanks.
If your code contains code blocks, you need to enclose it using more backticks, i.e., usually four ````.
See https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#formatting-make-githubs-markdown-work-for-us.

This being said, I suggest you read the documentation before asking questions.

Please excuse me for making the request incorrectly. I have updated a previously published post in accordance with the rules.

Activated the environment variable export QUARTO_PRINT_STACK=true

Therefore, I am attaching the updated output of quarto render:

As you can see, I added the variable lang:ru to _quarto.yml and after that an error message appeared

Sharing only the log is not really helpful.
You only provided a project configuration file which is not enough to reproduce the issue.

Could you share a small self-contained "working" (reproducible) example to work with, i.e., a complete Quarto document or a Git repository? The goal is to make it as easy as possible for us to recreate your problem so that we can fix it: please help us help you! Thanks.

You can share a self-contained "working" (reproducible) Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).
See https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#small-is-beautiful-aim-for-a-single-document-with-10-lines.

If you have multiple files (and if it is absolutely required to have multiple files), please share as a Git repository.

R

Python

````qmd
---
title: "Reproducible Quarto Document"
format: html
engine: knitr
---

This is a reproducible Quarto document.

{{< lipsum 1 >}}

```{r}
x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
y <- c(1, 4, 9, 16, 25)

plot(x, y)
```

![An image]({{< placeholder 600 400 >}}){#fig-placeholder}

{{< lipsum 1 >}}

The end after @fig-placeholder.
````

````qmd
---
title: "Reproducible Quarto Document"
format: html
engine: jupyter
---

This is a reproducible Quarto document.

{{< lipsum 1 >}}

```{python}
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]

plt.plot(x, y)
plt.show()
```

![An image]({{< placeholder 600 400 >}}){#fig-placeholder}

{{< lipsum 1 >}}

The end after @fig-placeholder.
````

Additionally and if not already given, please share the output of quarto check within a code block (i.e., using three backticks ```txt), see https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#check.

I spent some time to create an example and cannot reproduce your exact issue. So, please do provide a simple self-container reproducible example as demonstrated previously in my reply and in the discussion template (when opening the discussion).
Also, do include the output (as a code block) of quarto check. I'm guessing you are running something old/outdated.

~~Maybe there is another automatic detection exception to be made. (cc. @cderv)~~

Edit: for some unknown reason my TinyTex install was downgraded partially. I have no issues rendering with lang: ru with a fresh new TinyTex install.
