This number ist just adding  Zarya and Zvesda together and you have  
ISS. And according to my knowledge they are Krunichev made  and  
Krunichev is Russian. So ISS is 90 % Russian.
You think the 2 nodes make up more than 10 %?
Columbus is European.  Like I said most of the hardware America wanted  
to bring they cancelled.They only made the Truss.
Did I forget something?
The ATV that was brought to ISS should have been there in  2004.  
Everything was delayed or cancelled . But not by the russians
