i have some russian characters on a html page but instead russian characters i see "?"
also, if i try to view the page from ssh with vi i see characters like: Ð¿Ð°ÐºÐµÑ?Ñ? Ð?Ð°Ð¹ÐºÑ

on apache i have the settings: AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1

any idea why the russian characters are not displayed properly?

Obviously those characters are not in Latin1 character set...

If you're viewing the file from VI you aren't loading it via httpd, hence your AddDefaultCharset thing will make no difference.

Check VI for character encoding settings somewhere. VI is about the gayest editor ever created and must have went through a whole focus group of how to make it as difficult as possible to use, but there is probably something in there...
