Actually its vise versa. Modern English language is an artificially simplificated pidgin, created to give orders from French-speaking nobilities to German-speaking serves. When most of French-speaking nobilites were finished, ability of independent thinking (and the independent national politic) was finished, too. Native English (as the first-and-only language) speaker is no more than unguided drone, waiting for orders.
Contrary, Modern Russian was developed as an Imperial language under the strong influence of artificially created Church-Slavic language, specially sophisticated to be good enough to clearly demonstrate Christian philosophy and for a good quality of the state rule.
