i have this collection select with a :prompt attribute

<%= collection_select(:man_id, :name, Manufactor.where(:indropdown => true), :name, :name, {:prompt => "#{'Любой'.force_encoding('utf-8')}"}) %>

I cannot get the prompt to display the russian word. The error in this:

ActionView::Template::Error (incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIT):
