The skin seems to try to parse a website that's not really intended to be parsed. It tries to get information from the website html code rather than a fixed format like an rss feed. I'm pretty sure the website was changed since that skin was created, meaning the weather skin won't work any more because it can't find the weather info on the page any more.

I can't really help you with this, as I don't know any russian, but you'd have to change the RegExp of the WebParser measures to make the skin work again (until the website's layout is changed again).

I think it would be better to get weather info from another source that provides information in a format that's not changing (like xml, rss or something like that).
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!
