Similarity of English and Russian languages

Wonderful site. There should be more cultural exchange.
English has drawn from many languages. My question is: statistically, what percentage of common words in Russian are close (similar phonetically, in how they sound) to the English equivalent, and vice-versa? Sorry if answering my question requires a bit of research. But maybe someone who speaks both languages fluently knows.
