Well, I mostly agree with the overall statement: one's native tongue always seems… superfluous and thus the way we use a foreign language feels more… laconic 🤷
I'm not sure about Russian in particular — to me things translated into Russian become too wordy and often lame, unless you're very careful with the language. As most people do not care to put enough effort into it, that quite often becomes the case.
