I have the classic
Wladimir I. Smirnow, Lehrgang der höheren Mathematik
However I don't know whether there is an enlish edition, too.
For functional analysis,
Achieser, Glasman,
Theorie der linearen Operatoren I am Hilbertraum

Smirnov was translated into French and English, all 5 volumes and Akzieher and Glazman as well. Actually most of the physics and maths books in Russian have been translated into the 3 major languages of Western Europe.
