The book you downloaded is likely in CP 1251, so you need to convert it to UTF-8 first. The simplest way is to open the txt file using Internet Explorer, select all, copy & paste into Notepad, then in Save As dialog choose UTF-8 encoding.

Once you've done that add the book to Calibre and now it'll display properly after conversion.
