And you know, the more I think on it, the more the idea, if Illya spoke only one other language, it would be German, makes sense. Because he would have had to deal with Nazi occupation in Russia during WWII.
But then again the Russians during that occupation might have purposely avoided learning/speaking the language of their oppressors.
So I'll stick with my original answer on that one of French because we know he stuided at the Sorbonne. I can't imagine the Russian government sending him for an education in a place where he wouldn't be able to take full advantage due to a language barrier.
