This is a "bug" in russianb.ldf. Please change the 3 lines there:
\ifx\englishhyphenmins\undefined
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@}
\fi
to one line:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@}
Another note, the \English command (and \Russian too) defined in
russianb.ldf is "deprecated" and should not be used (also,
english-related stuff will be removed from russianb.ldf).
Instead, use the standard babel commands and environments for
switching language (otherlanguage, foreignlanguage, selectlanguage,
etc).
Best,
v.
