I found the reason - it is the combination Far2 and plug-in "Call Command". I
use this plugin for run commands to synchronize the current list of editable
files to the server with ssh, it is clear that both rsync and scp to copy
files already modified encoding.

While running from command plug-in "Call Command" current edited file from
utf-8 automatically converted (and stored on disk) in encoding cp1251, and
to complete the re-encoded back. Perhaps this feature of the implementation
of unicode in Far2, but it was very difficult to expect such behavior from
these applications.

Sorry, that turned up the wrong. Thanks.
