The LH fonts are Computer Modern families of Cyrillic fonts.

Since Computer Modern are the default families in LaTeX, you only need
to select any Cyrillic font encoding to use the LH fonts, e.g.

\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}

of course, to enter cyrillic letters you also need to select a
suitable cyrillic input encoding, e.g. by

\usepackage[koi8-r]{inputenc}

If you don't have a cyrillic keyboard, you may use the OT2 font
encoding (use OT2 instead of T2A above), and then enter cyrillic text
using latin letters in the so-called Washington Cyrillic transliteration;
but that way the quality of hyphenation will not be as good as with
8-bit encodings (because of extensive use of ligatures in the OT2
encoding).

Best,
