Ok, couple of points...

Can you fill in the missing LC_IDENTIFICATION bits, please? At least the source
field...

Is there some reason why the LC_ADDRESS, LC_NAME, LC_MEASUREMENT, LC_PAPER and
LC_TELEPHONE sections aren't simply copied over from the ru_RU locale?

Why should this locale be added?  There are people speaking English in about
every country.

Locales can easily be added as part of a locale pack or so.  Just use localedef.

Can you somehow show that english interface is more important in Russia than in
other non-English-speaking countries?

Also, instead of going through the combinatorial explosion of adding locales for
every language/country combination (I repeatedly fend off requests for adding
en_SV, for example), it would be better to fix desktop environments to allow
users to configure LC_MESSAGES and LANG differently, so that you would use
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 and LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8.

I'm not going to add the locale.  People interesting in them can compile it
themselves.

It's true that many people in Russia (and elsewhere) for various reasons prefer
en_US locale.
I believe many people would like to have an English locale without British and
American quirks, that is, with A4 paper format, monday as the first weekday,
%d.%m.%Y as date format, metric system and comma as decimal point. These
features, I believe, are shared by the most of European nations and at the same
time they are ones that a user encounters most. One could name it an
"International" locale, or, perhaps, "European" one. Probably, it doesn't
really matter if it is coded as en_RU, en_DE, en_FI, whatever.
In fact, this locale (more or less) already exists:
http://lh.2xlibre.net/locale/en_DK/. Well, "International" locale happened to
be Danish one for reasons of historical nature, so to say.
