Because Russia was the only country with a permanent presence in space with Mir. Russia learnt a great deal with the successes and pitfalls of Mir. Most of the critical systems on the Iss are designed and built in Russia, in fact it's more of a Russian space station with international modules, but Russia will freely admit that America paid for it. America had several failed attempts at building their own spacestation, without the Russians it would never be up there.
