When I save the source of this page of a Russian website:

http://www.mail.ru/

as a .txt file, all Russian letters turn into Chinese characters (I am working on a Chinese computer at the moment), but when I save another page of another Russian website:

http://starling.rinet.ru/cgi-bin/response.cgi?root=/usr/local/share/starling/morpho&morpho=0&basename=\usr\local\share\starling\morpho\ozhegov\ozhegov&first=4001

also as a .txt file, all Russian letters are saved in it as the are.

Why is it so?
