Let's ignore for the moment the question of whether non-Roman letters
ought to be used at all to represent hexadecimal numbers.
These are not the first six letters of the Cyrillic alphabet. The
letters Markus gave are ordered by what Roman Czyborra calls the
"KOI correspondence," in which Cyrillic letters are roughly equated
to their Latin counterparts and then ordered as they would be in the
Latin alphabet. The letters above correspond to A, B, C, D, E, F by
sound, but are not what a Russian speaker would call "the first six
letters."
The real first six letters of the Cyrillic alphabet are:
U+0410 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER A
U+0411 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER BE
U+0412 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER VE
U+0413 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER GHE
U+0414 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER DE
U+0415 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER IE
