Just read the documentation ;-). Unfortunately, babel is one of the
packages who's documentation has a generic name, user.dvi in this
case. But with
texdoc babel/user
you get the dvi file. On page 3 it says:
,----
| When a user wants to switch from one language to another he can do so
| using the macro \selectlanguage. This macro takes the language,
| defined previously by a language definition file, as its argument.
`----
You should just put the language you use first at the end of the list,
and use \selectlanguage{english} and \selectlanguage{russian} to
switch. Or you use the alternatives described in the following
paragraphs, the otherlanguage environment, or the \foreignlanguage
macro.
If that works for you, please close this bug - just send your answer to
296885-done@bugs.debian.org.
