They are both Slavic languages and use the same alphabet, Cyrillic, which helps a lot in understanding words. Also Bulgarian is the closest language to old church slavonic, now extinct, from which a lot of the Russian language is sourced from. As an estimate, probably about 80 per cent of words in Bulgarian also exist in Russian.

In the rush to independence and during the Turkish occupation Bulgaria incorporated many Russian words into their language and bought the language even closer to Russian. The grammar and pronouncation is totally different in both languages so it is almost impossible for them to understand each other. Bulgarian pronouncation is clear and sharp, but Russian is softly spoken.
