The Russian language originated from the early Proto-Slavic language, just like all the other Slavic languages (Ukrainian, Polish, Czech, Serbian, Bulgarian and so on), so in a sense they are all "dialects" from that prehistorical language. With time, the "dialects" changed so much that they are now considered different languages.

During history, Russian also borrowed many words from other languages like Greek, German, French, and English. Of course, those languages in turn borrowed from other languages, just like all languages borrow from each other.
