Some words were borrowed directly from english (like компьютер, инжектор), some words have the same roots. It's possible, some words came to english from slavic languages, but (almost) no one get down to research that, because there accepted stereotype in the scientific world that only Russia borrow word. Also, there are independent words with similar phonetic, but different meanings.
