How to change the encoding and open the file?

Question

linux

Hello!!!
I downloaded a web page using this Ubuntu terminal command:
wget http://www.bash.im/random.
Saved in the home directory. Using the following command:
cat random
I tried to open the file, but instead my terminal displayed only the HTML tags that this page contained and the Russian alphabet characters were replaced with white squares:
Question-what to do? How can I open this in the terminal a wonderful file without tags and with readable Russian characters?
PS Thank you in advance!!!

Answer 1

Change terminal locale

Answer 2

Open the file in a browser - it will open without tags and (most likely) in normal language (Russian)

Answer 3

What do you mean "without tags"? Mb lynx try? Locales like html_HTML.UTF-8 don't exist.

Answer 4

iconv -f WINDOWS-1251 -t UTF-8 -o output random
