Many suspect you learned Russian to pick up chicks for which you spent a considerable amount of resources and time instead of investing on your career.Russian is not a respectable language like German, French or Swedish unfortunately.
However I am a great fan of slavic languages, they are the sounds of our good neighbours.
On the contrary, Russian is the most practical language to learn for EE and Russia. If you are nothing more than a holidaymaker, then it is pointless and I have said as much myself. If you intend to live there and move around a bit, or you have to do business there, it is invaluable.
Back story, as always, is important in these things.
