Hello, I have tried to connect to minecraft.net from various Czech IP addresses and all of them seem to have the same issue - they default into the 'https://www.minecraft.net/ru-ru' domain, which is a fairly problematic issue, as only about 7% (and only 2,5% of ages 15-34) of Czech inhabitants speak Russian (https://languageknowledge.eu/countries/czech-republic) (2012 Eurobarometer data). It would make much more sense to make the site automatically connect to the 'https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/' domain, as English is far more prevalent in the Czech Republic and is a mandatory language in schools.
I am not exactly sure whether this is a bug or just a misunderstanding, but it makes no sense to redirect Czech users onto the Russian site, if anything, even Polish would make more sense than Russian since Polish is at least partially mutually inteligible with Czech.
I hope that you address this issue. Signed, Jakub Horký

I tried connecting to minecraft.net through a Czech VPN and I got to the english site. I've personally had a similar issue caused by a cookie set by another website. You should try visiting the site in "incognito" or "private" mode (or equivalent in your browser)
Unless I'm mistaken, the language that minecraft.net uses depends on your browser settings. You can specify your language preferences there. I'm not able to test this thoroughly, but this is not the first time someone has reported that the website uses an incorrect language.
Google browser in Czech language. It's 2021 and minecraft.net is still throwing in Russian, can't they just give Chinese? Loose tea like tea. OMG
Terribly sorry, I accidentally resolved this issue
