What is better?
I wonder what is better: to have very good command of one language or only good command of several languages? I am fluent in Russian and my English is on intermediate level. I spent my last holidays in Spain and I consider Spanish as beautiful language. I think that it would be fine to learn it, but at the same time I suppose that learning many languages can be to hard. I do not know what choose: to improve English and lost Spanish, or to learn both of them.

I am curious about what you have decided to do. Are you trying to balance learning both languages?
I think that learning a couple of languages at the same time is possible, especially if they are different enough. It is just that you will progress slower in both of them. But this is not a problem, if you are not time-constrained. It would possibly be hard, if you studied Italian and Spanish at the same time.
The answer may also depend on your learning style. Maybe, you can focus on one language and devote 3 high-quality hours to learning it everyday. But it might be easier to focus on one language for 90 minutes and then, by shifting to another, wake up and refocus on it again.
Anyway, since you are not a beginner in either language, you may learn only one of them without forgetting the other one. You might focus on actively studying English, while passively practising your Spanish by watching movies or reading.

What is better?
I wonder what is better: to have a very good command of one language or only a good command of several languages? I am fluent in Russian and my English is on an intermediate level[1]. I spent my last holidays in Spain and I consider Spanish as beautiful language. I think that it would[2] be fine to learn it, but at the same time I suppose that learning many languages simultaneously can be too hard. I do not know[3] what choose: to improve English and lost neglect Spanish, or to learn both of them.
[1] "I am fluent in Russia and my English is intermediate" would sound more natural
[2] "It would" is correct but I think nearly any native would say "it'd". "It would" is a bit too formal, except in work/studies.
[3] Similar to above, 'I don't know' would be much more common.
