If pdflatex doesn't give an error message, that means that the problem 
is the fonts used - they are not scalable (Postscript type1) fonts.

After some googling I think you can use the PsCyr package on MikTex - if 
it is setup correctly, it will use Postscript fonts for the cyrillic 
letters.

You should then indeed write

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,russian]{babel}

in the preamble (and whatever else is necessary for PsCyr).
