For future info: not necessary to remove semi-colons for last item before the closing '}'. Absolutely necessary to include semi-colons when not the last item before '}'.

But I still have "?wiebodzin".

It's possible that the font files you chose don't include the Eastern European characters you need. Try some more. Try the set of 4 Georgia font files in your Windows\Font directory.

Do you think it's possible to fix this without doing that "Russification" thing?

Definitely.

Also, if you have advice for how to more neatly edit these stylesheets, I'm interested!

There is no 'One True Way' but the attached stylesheet should work for this epub.
Have a look at the @font-face statements at the top (reproduced here):
Code:
@font-face { font-family: serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; src: url(res:///Data/fonts/times.ttf);}
@font-face { font-family: serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; src: url(res:///Data/fonts/timesi.ttf);}
@font-face { font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; src: url(res:///Data/fonts/timesbd.ttf);}
@font-face { font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; src: url(res:///Data/fonts/timesbi.ttf);}
@font-face {font-family: sans-serif; font-weight: all; font-style: all; src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Sans_Regular.ttf);}
The first 4 are your chosen serif fonts (regular, italic, bold, bolditalic). So, for example, wherever your CSS says
Code:
font-family: serif; font-style: italic;
the font file
res:///Data/fonts/timesi.ttf will be used.
The fifth one specifies to use
res:///Data/fonts/Sans_Regular.ttf wherever
Code:
font-family: sans-serif;
is specified in the rest of the CSS, i.e. regular is used no matter whether the CSS specifies italic and/or bold. This may or may not be desirable in general. If you want the full set of 4 like the serif then find a font with all 4 files available (e.g. Fontin is quite nice and it's free) and set up the sans-serif @font-faces to look similar to the serif @font-faces.
If you get adventurous you can do the same with monospaced fonts with a set of
Code:
@font-face {font-family: monospace; ... }
I don't know whether I'm explaining this very well but once you find your ideal font files you can use the same set of @font-face statements for every epub you want to edit. If you're a Calibre user you can put these @font-faces in the Convert - Look&Feel - ExtraCSS box. If you're not a Calibre user ignore the last sentence.
The only thing which will change by epub is where you put all the
Code:
font-family: serif;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-family: monospace;
in the rest of the css.
It could be as simple as a one-liner (after the @font-faces) saying
Code:
body {font-family: serif}
This would have the effect of rendering the whole epub in your chosen serif font as long as there aren't other contradicting font-family: statements lower down.
