Unless you want to spellcheck both Russian and English at the same time
in the same file, you might try moving away or renaming the English
spell files which are in $VIMRUNTIME/spell/. (They will reappear the
next time you update Vim.) If that works, it means that either the
Russian spell files don't include Latin letters as word characters, or
the English ones don't include Cyrillic letters, or both.

Best regards,
