I tried to generate plain TeX cyrillic format files using makefmts.sh script from cyrplain package, here is the content of this script:
#!/bin/sh
tex -ini -fmt=cyrtex -progname=tex cyrtex.ini
tex -ini -fmt=cyramstex -progname=amstex cyramstx.ini
tex -ini -fmt=cyrtexinfo -progname=texinfo cyrtxinf.ini
tex -ini -fmt=cyrblue -progname=tex cyrblue.ini
pdftex -ini -fmt=cyrpdftex -progname=pdftex cyrtex.ini
pdftex -ini -fmt=cyrpdftexinfo -progname=pdftexinfo cyrtxinf.ini
Running the script, i’ve received these error messages (among others):
(/usr/local/texlive/2015basic/texmf-dist/tex/generic/babel/plain.def

Can anyone tell me, please, what went wrong?
Here is the content of cyrtex.log up to the first error:
