Default YOU, the respected form

In English, there's no respected form for "you", unlike Spanish and
German, which have respected form of YOU, they are Usted and Sie
respectively.

I wonder if Italian and Russian also have respected form of you. Is
there any other European language like English which has no respected
form of you?

Thanks!
