Good luck making this important decision. I am not in your field. While reading your post, I thought it would be worthwhile to make a couple of inquiries into whether or not your could take some qualitative courses at another institution (or department) and transfer the credits over (or perhaps take a few extra courses in this area and go over the number of required courses). Second, it seems to me that you could learn Russian even by taking undergrad courses somewhere or participating in a language immersion program in Russia after you complete the program. If the sole purpose of wanting to get the certificate is to acquire language skills then there are definitely other ways you could achieve this goal.
I'll be honest, I was all for option number two until I read that the program is better to suited for a field you already work in and want to get out of. So what would be the benefits of taking that program for someone in your circumstances?
I think you need to step back and get a clear picture of your long term goals, understand what is required for you to achieve those goals, and decide which program will best help you get there. Any other details should be removed from the equation when making this decision. 

I agree that your 2nd concern under Humphries looks like a dealbreaker.

That's quite a decision to make. The way you put it, each program has some gaps. If all of these factors are equally important for you to get the training you need for your desired career, I'd look at alternative ways for you to fill in those gaps that can be done outside of the program (perhaps some skills or knowledge can be acquired in the workplace after graduation or at a practicum, through continuing education/workshops, international language immersion programs, or elsewhere while in you're in school, right now over the next few months, or after you graduate). If you find that something would be difficult or next to impossible to get outside of the program, then it might make sense to choose that particular program if it's an essential skill you need to have in your field or a highly desirable one. 
Don't be afraid to reach out to the department with your questions. They might be able to answer some of those questions or concerns that you have. If you haven't done so already, I'd find out where alumni have ended up working. If you notice one of the two schools produces more grads that do the work you want to get into, this is a strong sign that the program could be the one for you.
