English and German are EU languages. Russian is not.

The EU maintains a large translation service to translate most EU official texts into all EU languages. So Google Translate is using that to train on. Google gets a free gift from a multinational bureaucracy and gets to look like a smart company in the process.

This is also why English-Mandarin is often poorly translated, in my opinion.
