"result file" is ~/.Xmodmap. Open in with text editor (I suggest Alt+F2, 
then kwrite ~/.Xmodmap) and find string with "Cyrrilic_che". Cut it and 
"Cyrillic_CHE" from assignment. Then paste to another keycode, which you 
feel more comfortable, then save.

To get keycode for a key, run "xev" utility in a terminal, press key to 
test(focus should be in xev window) and then find line with "keycode" in 
a terminal where you launched xev from.

Nothing changed, because you file ~/.Xmodmap remained untouched. No need 
in sudo.

Try the command again(ensure there is a space between xmodmap and it's 
argument "~/.Xmodmap"), after you have edited ~/.Xmodmap and changed 
keycodes assignments.

Good luck,
