i think you should try learning japanesse.. i know it's hard but soon Japan will be so powerful in the world that i bet japanesse is going to become a very important language (if you think it's too hard you could try learning spanish, it's easy and funny and also kinda important).. good luck!

If you want to be able to speak to people from all over the world on an equal basis, then you really have to learn Esperanto. I have learned the language and have had an amazing experience speaking to people in Poland, Lithuania, Slovakia and Hungary. It is really different from when you speak English, because someone always has a natural advantage with national languages. Esperanto is so much more neutral as well as EXTREMELY easy to learn. I learned it with hardly any effort compared to other languages.
I would also recommend learning Modern Standard Arabic (not local Arabic dialects, which are incomprehensible outside their country of origin). Modern Standard Arabic is an official UN language and is extremely beautiful, eloquent and has an amazing literature.
Persian is a great language to learn as well, and much easier to learn than Arabic, since it is an Indo-European tongue. Persian has a great wealth of literature, especially mystic poetry.

Try learning Esperanto (I speak English, Esperanto, Spanish, and German) Esperanto was far easier to learn than any of the others, and it opened the world to me. I've had conversations with people from every continent, and every country, and I only had to learn the easiest language on earth to do so.
You might ask, why is Esperanto easier to learn than any of the other languages? It's because it is a language designed to be easier to learn than any national language. Most of the time spent studying a foreign language is spent learning the irregularities and rule exceptions ("I before E except after C", " 'sheep' is both singular and plural", etc). Esperanto has only 16 gramatical rules, and no exceptions to any of the rules.
And before you ask, yes you can travel with Esperanto. Read this article in Wikipedia about the Esperanto "Pasporta Servo" (Pasport Service)

For someone living in Rusia, the logical languages to learn would be German and Chinese.
