I think that English is set as default language. The drop down showing all the languages is set to English. Whenever I reopen IE9 and click on the Gmail on the black bar on google it still opens in Russian but if I then carry on and sign in using the Russian page it opens my email page in English. This only happens with IE9 and google. With firefox and Google there is no problem and using IE9 and yahoo or bing there is also no problem. Think I will set firefox as default.
It is a new laptop (Acer) and at one time google search was in Russian but changing from google.com to google.co.uk solved it.

Another option, has something change the proxy settings in IE to direct all your browsing via a Russian proxy, thus making google think you're in Russia.

Both IE and Firefox use the same URL. The addresses are long so I copied them both to check carefully. I am not very computer literate so don't know about proxy settings. It is only clicking on the Gmail icon in the black toolbar with IE that has it open in Russian. I've put Gmail on the favourites bar above it and that always opens in English. Once I've opened Gmail from the favourites bar subsequently opening it from the black bar gives it in English until I restart the browser when it opens in Russian again.
Using Firefox now to get around it.
