I just love a good thick Russian accent That's how you can tell someone in an American movie is speaking Russian - they just speak English with a Russian accent to each other. It's madness!!! Pass the borscht!

Well, actually, in American movies they goes to hypertrophy side - actual Russian very rarely speak in such thick roaring accents. Our usual problem is different: it's extra sounds - like "g" in "-ing", "k" in "knight", and so on. We tends to talk too hard, comparing to Englishmen, but to real "Russian" accent you need German Schwarzenegger.
