You can modify the url parameter hl in this way:
hl=en(for English)hl=ru(for Russian)hl=de(for German)
and so on.
Another possibility is to use yubnub search engine. You can define a new custom command to get search result in desired language.
Suppose that you want to get Google Search result in Russian, you can define a command called goru with url defined as https://www.google.com/#hl=ru&output=search&q=%s. You can define other command like goit (Italian), gode (German) and so on by substituting the hl= part with correspondent language abbreviation.
Google already searches all languages by default:

On Google.com, after you have done a search, you can click the Tools button (rightmost button under the search bar AFTER you have searched). If you do this, some options become available, one of which is time. The presets are all for finding recent results, but with the Custom Range option, you can also specify anything before a certain date (just leave the From field open)
