Here is a file that I need to convert to plain text in MAC OSX zshell. http://narod.ru/disk/6431540001/Test_rtf.rtf.html
I've tried unrtf, rtf2txt, rtf2html = no result. They can't convert ru_cp1252. Also I've tried
unrtf file.rtf | iconv -f cp1252 -t UTF-8 No result.
I'll be happy with any solution: shell/perl/python/ruby
If you dont want to download the file there is a part of the rtf file as I see it in zshell with cat:

my tip is to use a text editor that can handle different charsets. Open the file and than store as UTF-8.
I often use jEdit for kind of similar tasks. see jEdit's manual about Character Encodings
