Muzhik, you have/had some of the most intriguing artists, literates and scientists in the world and your language is unbeliavably esoteric for a foreigner. That’s reason enough!
It’s actually quite close to other European languages. It just seems more different than it is because it’s written in Cyrillic. Which is also surprisingly close to Latin once you learn to read it.
I’ve dabbled a bit in learning Persian, and I’ve got the same impression.
That’s nice.
It also has a tonne of French and German loan words, much more than anyone would expect, and since I speak those languages it makes Russian a lot easier
