I'm learning Greek for reading. Much more worth my time to be honest familia. After that, I will learn German and French. Russian isn't very high on my priorities because there aren't another authors that I think highly enough of.
Nabokov went out of his way to translate his early Russian novels into English once his skills in the latter had finally matured, because he knew how much better he was as an English writer.
