Why can't I change voice in pyttsx3?

I want to make a new project with pyttsx3, but I can't choose a voice. In general, I need a set of Russian voices, so I installed the RHVoice packages, but the module does not want to see individual voices, showing only languages. Help, please, how to choose them or configure them correctly on linux?

How I look at the list of voices:

import pyttsx3

tts = pyttsx3.init()

voices = tts.getProperty('voices')
for voice in voices:
    print(voice.name)

Output this code:

afrikaans

bulgarian

import pyttsx3
engine = pyttsx3.init()
voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
for voice in voices:
    print(voice)
engine.setProperty('voice', 'zh')
engine.say("你好")
engine.runAndWait()

or just directly use "espeak -v zh '你好'"
