Hi, Ilya
I don't want to sound arrogant but I must tell you this since you want to know why they are not hiring you. If you want to work as an English-Russian translator your English and writing must be PERFECT, not only because it's what that job demands but also because you need to stand out from the thousands of translators there are in Upwork already. You may think your English level is very high but reading your post here anyone can see it is not. And there is even a typo in the title.
It sounds like I am exaggerating but that is how it is. Clients look for excellence so if your profile or proposals have that kind of mistakes they don't forgive you and reject you instantly.
Your profile is private at the moment so I can't tell if you have English mistakes or any other problem there. Anyway, I'll give you a couple more tips: don't bid too low because many clients would think you are a "cheap" worker who doesn't deserve more (you'll find many scammers too), tailor your proposals talking about the specific job and how you would manage it, don't use the proposal to talk about you (use the overview to talk about you, not the proposal), be patient and keep going because if you didn't get any contract yet potential clients see that and they don't want to take the risk with a new worker, instead they go to the seasoned ones even if their rates are higher than yours. The first job is always the hardest to get, but once in a while there is someone that gives you a chance so keep the faith. Besides, in your proposal don't you ever beg because most clients don't like that and others just take advantage of you and treat you as a slave.
Again, don't take me wrong, it's just a piece of advice. Don't ever stop learning English, grammar in particular; and keep sending good proposals. It's hard to work here but not impossible. If you are a native Russian living in Russia that is actually a great advantage!
