      Really any eastern european will work. It’s not like we americans usually know what foreign language is being spoken.

        Yeah, really. Peter Stormare has been playing Russian villains for decades and he’s Swedish.

    The supposedly russian bad guys are mostly not actually russian. Mostly they are some variety of native Germanic speaking actors. If the casting department is going for authenticity, it may be someone speaking the wrong branch of Slavic.

    Half of the actors playing Russian/eastern European villains are German or Swedish or something, and another quarter are British/American/Australian/Irish actors with varying quality of dialect coaching.

    As if Hollywood hasn’t been completely monopolized and enshittified to the point that they seem incapable of making anything worth watching.
