If ou learn for example French or Spanish you only have to learn the language and most of the western european languages come from the indo-germanic background and are all heavily influenced by latin since most western european countries where part of the roman empire once. So a lot of words and part of the grammar are pretty similar.
If u want to learn russian you also have to learn a new alphabet and russian is a slavic language which hasn't much in common with the western european ones which makes it even harder of course/
You have raised a very interesting thing.
The thing is that there is enough credible theory about the origin of the Indo-European family of languages. Sanskrit, the language that is most similar to the Indo-European protolanguage is actually very similar to the Russian. You could even say that the Russian and especially the Old Russian and Orthodox dialect. In fact, if you look at the German, the roots of this proto-language will be tracked, but to a much lesser extent, due to the impact of globalization of the Roman Empire. English, which had an enormous influence Germanic languages also shows this relationship. Many linguists on a level with linguistic ties so the same genetic mark, spending in genetic studies showing proof of sufficient clear link between linguistic and genetic groups among contemporary Europeans, especially Germans and Russian and ancient Aryans, the pro-Europeans...
I hope it will be readable
