That reminds me of an Englishman who used to come often from the head office to inspect my wife's production site. I don't remember exactly which part of England he was from, only that he cheered for Blackburn, but he was difficult to understand at time, especially off work after a few drinks. Most Russians he met never gave a notice to his accent, except when he said the word "Russia". He pronounced it "Roosha". That's when everybody rushed to correct him. He'd laugh it off, saying "Hey, I'm English. It's my language, I am the one to tell you how to pronounce which word!"
