ISO-8859-1 is the standard coding for me, and KOI8-R is one of 4 choices for Cyrillic. "Windows 1251" is another choice there, so that may be a better choice for your text. I would expect other browsers to offer something similar. Explicit installation of fonts should not be necessary, here, since modern systems tend to have pre-installed the most common ones, which the browser would find at the standard place for fonts.
