How to work with unknown (?????.doc) files in linux?

Question

linux

Switched from Windows 10 to Linux Mint with KDE. No particular inconvenience other than downloading archives. I download a .rar archive from any site, and there the files are displayed in incomprehensible characters. Dolphine, Arh, mc and other programs cannot parse the name. So I can't open the file.

So, how do I fix incorrect file name display? The system itself is localized under the Russian language.

This is some kind of wrong RAR in your system. I have:
