Apparently, some distributors care about their sales in such a retarded way. If you live in Russia - you are unlucky, this game is located here by the 1C office, and you won’t buy the English version on Steam. I, at least, refused to accept payment from the Russian card, and pre-order in our region is not available.
The most popular version on the forums is the perverse concern for the sales of local distributors.
The 1C office is generally famous for its localizations. For example, the licensed Doom 3 in the localization of 1C turned out to be incompatible with official patches. On the multiplayer via the Internet had to forget.

Those who are not lucky enough to purchase a localized “Mafia 2 ″ will be able to choose the Ukrainian or Polish versions, but not the English ones.
Do you know what they did to Duke? They are voiced by his voice "Shrek"! This is how it sounds (listen and vomit):

Sounding "Duke" is not just a blasphemy, but a fierce and merciless *** dec. And it seems that this *** dec is at least somehow being sold to potential buyers are being blocked from purchasing the English version.
The maximum that could be done there is a disconnected subtitle. Playing the resounded "Duke" is worse than fucking a rubber woman. Rubber woman at least you can fuck.
I have one request to the office "1C". I will express it with Duke's words: “Eat shit and die!” In the localized version: “You are *** or your localizations.”
