This is my document:

Hello, \foreignlanguage{russian}{друг}!

This is what I'm getting:

What could be wrong? I'm at Ubuntu 20.04 with TeX Live 2021:

$ pdflatex --version
pdfTeX 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.23 (TeX Live 2021)

BTW, I tried to find this file, but it's not there: tlmgr search --file larm1000.tfm --global

The tfm files of the lh family are generated on demand. This is why you see

kpathsea: Running mktextfm larm1000

How do I know the name of the font family? Common knowledge, I'm afraid.

You might do tlmgr install lh, but you also need the cm-super TeX Live package for Type1 fonts.

From your name I guess you'll be using Cyrillic a lot, so it's best to install the whole langcyrillic collection. If I do

tlmgr info collection-langcyrillic --list

I get

package:     collection-langcyrillic
category:    Collection
shortdesc:   Cyrillic
longdesc:    Support for Cyrillic scripts (Bulgarian, Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian), even if Latin alphabets may also be used.
installed:   Yes
