| Did you set a <meta....  tag with a different charset? Did you set a <meta... tag ? If not some browsers set a charset by default which is mostly wrong   
 <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=WINDOWS-1251">

 I should put this line in every page of my site?

| If it works with it the answer is yes! 
 i.e.
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | <html><head><title>my Title for this page</title>
 <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=WINDOWS-1251">
 </head>
 <body>
 ...
 </body></html>
 
 | 
 
 Does the browser show the pages correcly with the meta set charset?
