This solution may work for the Professional version of Windows, but not with the Home version sold on many less expensive PCs. If you have a Russian version of Windows that is not the Pro version, then to get English menus you need to buy a full new English version and reinstall.
Before Vista, most PCs I saw in the shops in Russia had the Home version. A colleague bought one. When he realized he really did need English menus, he installed an English version of Windows. Many of the drivers then did not work.
