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.
