russian page encoding help

Sorry for the English

Could somebody please tell what the recommended encoding is for Russian?

Thanks!!!

win1251 or UTF-8 (depends on what charset the site is already using)

UPD:
Most common for Russian sites is win1251 (major hosts use this as their default encoding).
UTF-8 is like in transitional period - it has advandages but along with that is not fully trusted.

My advice would be: if u gonna host ur site on a russian host - use win1251, else - use UTF-8.

thanks!

Looks like utf-8 would be the best for me since I also have to deal with Japanese.
