It’s coming from the pluralization rules:  
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/lib/javascripts/locale/ru.js](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/lib/javascripts/locale/ru.js)

The Russian locale uses `one`, `few` and `other`.  
The English locale uses `one` and `other`.

Transifex doesn’t detect a string as pluralized when the English locale file contains pluralizations different from `one` and `other` (e.g. it uses `zero`). That’s why `few` is not available in Transifex for those strings in the Russian locale.

I don’t think there’s a need for that. They already support up to 6 plural forms and all the supported languages should be configured correctly on their side.  
If I’m not mistaken removing all the `zero` and `many` keys from the English locale should be enough.
