Knowing more languages allows you to get perspective and info from more people. English has the most diverse perspectives because it is the de facto language of business around the world. Russian is spoken in... Russia. Knowing only Russian limits you to Russian information sources and perspectives.

While English is indeed very useful, Russian is spoken in quite a bit of countries as a first or second language (mainly in the former USSR).
