Basically Ruscico is Mosfilm so one other option might be to try to contact them directly to see if they can sell you a copy with English titles. They seem to have made pretty much everything they have online and much of it on DVD. I would try to just ask them directly about a copy as they seem pretty accommodating on getting their stuff out there.
