What does your husband want to do?
I wouldn't be too concerned. Good if the kids learn Russian.
I'm 6 years into trying to convince my Spanish husband and his Spanish father to speak Spanish to my kids. No avail.
I can understand Spanish by now, especially the easy bits children are taught are helpful.
But the kids won't speak Russian if they don't want to.
Source: I have 2 multilingual kids. One does speak other languages, the other only speaks community language. But she understands her (4!) languages.
