In my video folder I have some music clips in .flv I would have liked to tag with information as artist, song title, album, cover, etc.
Is this operation possible ? Which programs are able to do that graphically (equivalent of EasyTAG)?

If you select the Unknown Album of the Unknown Artist, Banshee will display the corresponding track-list (which should contain all the unidentified tracks you imported).
Select all the unknown tracks which you believe belong to a same album (using shift+left-click or ctrl+left-click), then right-click to get the context-menu. In this menu you will choose Edit Track Information:
You will then see an Edit Track Information dialogue, where you will be able to edit your metadata manually:
There are also plug-ins to fix metadata.
This is a common problem with Cyrillic id3tags encoded in Windows.
There is a python script, tag2utf, you could try to fix the encoding.
Just place the script into the same folder where the songs are, run it with python ./tag2utf-0.16.py, and follow the prompt.
Reportedly, there is also another tool, mid3iconv. It is part of the python-mutagen package in the repositories.

flvtool2 and yamdi are tools to manipulate flv metadata, they are both command line based tools though, and you do not seem to want that, also the metadata they can inject may not be what you want, see what yamdi can do here http://yamdi.sourceforge.net/, something about flvtool2 here http://www.inlet-media.de/flvtool2/ the kind of metadata they handle may not be suitable so test them.
While it is not so good to convert one lossy compressed video format to another, I have no choice but to convert some of my videos to the vastly superior .mp4 format, in doing this videos can be tagged with itunes compatible metadata quite easily with mp4tags from mpeg4ip-utils, the metadata so embedded in this format is widely supported, all major media players on Ubuntu are able to read them and these tags will be available in the right click properties Audiio/Video tab in nautilus too, mp4tags is command line based but Easytag-aac can tag .mp4 video files quite easily too, even the VLC media player has this feature. it is up to you to convert or not to convert.
If conversion is out of the question then one can use the Banshee media player as a manager for most video files, just import your files into the program then you can enter the necessary information about your videos in the banshee interface, much the same way you do your music, the only thing is that this information will be stored in the Banshee sqlite database, and not the file itself, not a big broblem in some cases.
