Russians use Cyrillic alphabet. It first appeared in Bulgarian Empire in the ninth or tenth century as a way to write down the Old Church Slavonic language. It was based on Greek uncial script with added letters to express sounds not found in Greek.

Using Greek is more of a historic choice because East and South Slavs had much more ties with Byzantine Empire than with Western Europe which used Latin alphabet. (Greek was an official language in Byzantium)
