"Just to be clear - there are plenty of "average Russians" which talk with an accent"
I was at a conference once where a Chinese engineer I knew introduced me to one of his colleagues. "I'm afraid he speaks English with a slight American accent," he said, "he learned it at spy school in Moscow in the 1950s."
Anyone who believes the tosh that the Chinese are inscrutable and have no sense of humour would have been disabused as his colleague turned bright red and muttered something about "all that was before the Cultural Revolution."
