Most Russian sellers will speak English if it means selling something
Anyway, that B&H should be a good projector. One caution is B&H projectors have a nylon gear which can break down over time. It's possible to buy a new one, but it's a bitch to install it. I haven't tried to do it. If it functions OK now, it's probably a much safer bet than an old Romanian projector, and you will always be able to source parts.
Here's info about the worm gear

I guess the fact is that every projector is old, and will need some attention to work properly. It's best to find one where service manuals/info and parts aren't impossible to find. Also, if it's a popular model someone on a forum will probably be able to help you with fixing it.
