Japanese, followed by Korean , then Russian.
Here are some of the reasons:
1. Russian is a member of the Indo-European language family as is English. So a large number of words are similar. Japanese and Korean are unrelated to English.
2. The order of words is very different in Japanese and Korean. Russian is subject-verb-object as in English, but Japanese and Korean are subject-object-verb.
3. Japanese and Korean have different ways to say things depending on the social status of the person you are addressing.
4. Russian has a straightforward alphabet, which is pronounced as written. Some letters are the same as in English. Korean has an alphabet, but it looks nothing like our alphabet and also uses up to 2000 characters of Chinese origin. Japanese has two alphabets and a very large number of Chinese characters.

I think Russian is most difficult because you must conjugate so many words in the sentence. Korean and Japanese really only require verb conjugation. Writing and reading in Russian and Korean is easy, but Japanese is the hardest to learn to read/write.

Japanese and Korean are quite similar and not that difficult to grasp. I vote Russian, though I doubt it's outrageously difficult.

It's definitely Russian. You've got to do some tongue rolling.
But it actually depends where you come from...like, which languages you know already fluently.
