Jack Barsky is a former sleeper agent of the KGB who spied on the US from 1978 to 1988. After being exposed, he turned FBI informant and has since stayed in the United States, becoming a published author of “Deep Undercover” and an expert on espionage and Russian intelligence. He was recruited into the KGB after being approached by a member of the East German secret police at the University of Jena in 1969.
Barsky rates the realism of Russian spying tactics such as message interception, surveillance, and sleeper cells in “The Fourth Protocol” (1987), “Anna” (2019), “Bridge of Spies” (2015), “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” (2011), and the popular TV show “The Americans” (2013-2018).
He also breaks down physical training and spies’ backgrounds in “Red Sparrow” (2018), “Salt” (2010), and Black Widow’s first on-screen appearance in “Iron Man 2” (2010). He also discusses the Bond movie franchise and its depiction of Russian spies in “From Russia With Love” (1963).

Prisoners at Guantanamo would like a word...
Well, WE call it torture. By Russian standards, yeah, our methods look like slaps on the wrist.
.... do I know too much :(?
Now here is where what I am about to describe, cannot be - and to the best of my knowledge has not been - verified. Nevertheless it really hasn't been dis-proven and the Russians never denied it. And why would they? It only serves to make them look hyper competent if turns out to be true. At any rate no physical evidence (like pictures) have ever been forthcoming either.
Basically during the cold war the russians (KGB and GRU) built little towns deep inside russia that were "American" in every way except location. Right down to the buildings, roads, and even american cars. None of this would have been difficult for the Russians to do. After all we were an open society by comparison so they had all the info they needed from just magazines alone. The cars could easily be purchased and shipped to russia during that time without raising any eyebrows. Anyway some of these very very young parentless children were placed with KGB or GRU families and were raised as americans in these fake american towns.
So they could have easily learned english with the american accent and not a russian accent.
Naturally they would also be taught russian but only after learning english. It has never been clear at what age these kids were told they were being groomed to be spies. Nor is it clear what would become of the kids that didn't make the cut either. The ones that did were given false paperwork and came to America as Americans returning from vacation abroad and for all intents and purposes they literally could "pass as americans". I/E they would not have Russian Accents.
All of this is speculation based on rumors from defectors, long serving intelligence officers, and probably certain think tanks in sourthern california. POINT IS - this is one possible way russian agents learned english without sounding like Borat.
Yep, that would definetely disqualify you as an American ahahha
By the way, she also said that characterization and wigs were common.
