Russia

Listen to people from Russia speak English in their native accent and, in some instances, Russian in their native dialect. Please select a sample from the list below. (Please note that some samples here actually belong elsewhere, such as Ukraine and Latvia, but still retain their Russian labeling from when those countries were part of Russia, formerly U.S.S.R. We apologize for the outdated labeling.)
