Why are english native speakers interested in Russian language?

I noticed that many of them are going to learn Russian.
What are the reasons for this? (Or, you could simply say: Why?) 

Maybe I'm living here and don't see hidden possibilities ?:)
If I was born in the U.S.A or somewhere in Europe i think I wouldn't invest my time in learning it.
So this note is like a social poll.

In English we say that people are "glutton for punishment," which might explain my own motivation, anyway! ;) Basically, I like the idea of learning a challenging language. It would be a big accomplishment to learn a new alphabet with new pronunciation, etc. :) But of course, being able to talk to even more people around the world is great, too.

Alexander, I have found that some people are extremely interested in Russian culture, literature, and Russia's place in history as a whole. Not exactly European, and not like Asian countries, Russia is kind of in a league of its own. I didn't understand the significance of Russia when I was living there but looking back over these past years I wish I had more understanding of Russia and its history while I was there (ages 6-11). Russia has MUCH to offer in terms of culture, music, and history, and you should be proud that we are all obsessed with Russia! Haha.

I'm not an English native speaker, but I think that it'd be really interesting to know firsthand the great Soviet progress in multiple branches of knowledge, like theory of literature, psychology, maths... It is very difficult to read anything on these subjects if you don't know Russian.

I think it must be coincidence. Remember american english is lazy.
