Wait, I'm confused. Is the issue that there simply is NO Russian version of ME1 and this fact is not made clear in the on-line purchase of the Trilogy, or that you're concerned that the same is true of ME3? (This last part of the question is because the title of your topic is not about the language of ME1 in the Trilogy pack, but that of ME3.)

I have edited the question for clarification. The point is, since language selection for the bundle offers you to choose versions that simply don't exist for one game in the Trilogy, and the store doesn't bother to tell you about it, it's very likely that language selection for the Trilogy is complete BS and you'll be stuck with whatever version of ME3 is standard in your region.

As far as I know this happens because the games are more cheaper in Russia then Europe so they don\t want people to buy from there, only from there regain that way this happen. Your only way to find a solution to the problem is to go to ea support or call them and see what they say about this or read there FAQ about language choice.
Not only EA does this think, Diablo 3 that people bought from Russia had 2 language English and Russian and after some time they patch the game so you can only have the Russian language
I'm perfectly aware why the publishers impose regional restrictions, even though they are horribly wrong. EA support is useless -- they take forever to get an answer from, they treat you like an idiot and fail to actually read the request and get the point, they are unaware of details of region-specific versions and restrictions, and they can't do anything about it. They can't (or won't) override Store restrictions and allow you to buy a version normally not sold in your region.
Regarding Diablo 3, I think you have been misinformed. People who bought the English version of Diablo 3 in Russia (myself included) have never been robbed of language choice. I can choose between any of the European languages. There is a separate, downpriced, Russian-only D3 license, and it has been Russian-only from the start.
