* Several Russian worlds pop up in some episodes of ''Series/StargateSG1'', mostly spoken by Daniel Jackson, who is supposed to be a linguist proficient in dozens of languages (not all human). For example, one episode involved O'Neill being upset that he is forced to go on a mission with a Russian team. His comment that he needs someone whom he can trust to "watch [his] six". Jackson remarks that the Russians will watch his "shest'" (Russian for "six"), even though the phrase is meaningless in Russian. A linguist ought to know that.
** Another episode features a Russian team going through the gate with SG-1. One of them complains in Russian about the most powerful country in the world making crappy coffee. Unlike the other examples of this trope, the actor in question was Russian, so no atrocious accent.
** ''SG-1'' gets many things wrong about the Russian language, such as consistently putting women's surnames in masculine forms. Not to mention spelling errors in signs, such as "Не курять" instead of the proper "Не курить" ("No smoking"). Most JustForFun/{{egregious}}ly, the two submarine crewmen in the episode "Small Victories" spoke with such incomprehensibly mangled accents that the Russian translators were forced to dub over them.
*** They kept switching between Russian and Ukrainian. Someone didn't do their homework.
*** At least they [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] the "putting women's surnames in masculine forms" mistake in the episode where Daniel goes to Russia and starts looking for a "Captain Voronkov" only to meet Captain Daria Voronkova who emphasizes the last syllable for him. Of course, the same episode then they go ahead and mangle the name of the Russian Minister of Defense into "Miraslov" (the correct name is "Miroslav" meaning "one who sings about peace/world"). It takes a quick Google search to figure that out.
** The episode introducing Dr. Elizabeth Weir has her try to catch a taxi only for a random Russian guy to try to get the same cab and start speaking in Russian. Being a diplomat, she knows the language and speaks a few phrases to him. Nobody asks why a Russian man in Washington, D.C., would try to use his own language to convince a woman he doesn't know that he needs it more.
* ''Series/TheXFiles'' had many occurrences of atrociously accented and grammatically garbled Russian, especially whenever [[RenegadeRussian Alex Krycek]] became involved.
** Possibly [[JustifiedTrope justified]], since it seems Krycek was born in America and Russian is his second language. (He says his parents were Russian Cold War immigrants, but since he's a [[ConsummateLiar pathological liar]], who knows for sure.)
* ''[[Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit Law & Order: SVU]]'' had an episode called ''Russian Love Poem''. Ironically, none of the actors who portrayed supposedly Russian characters was actually Russian - they were Serbian. The results were... interesting, to say the least.
* ''Series/CriminalMinds'' surpinsingly averts this in "Honor Among Thieves". The Russian that the characters speak sounds very natural and is, for the most part, free of ridiculous accents. Even Prentiss, who, of course, has an accent, constructs her sentences the way a native Russian speaker would do.

UsefulNotes/{{Russia}} is a big place. There are many people living in it and its neighboring countries, especially the ones that were once parts of the [[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn Union of Soviet Socialist Republics]]. Consequentially, there are a lot of people on the planet (quarter billion, according to Wiki/TheOtherWiki) Website/TheOtherWiki) who can speak UsefulNotes/RussianLanguage to some extent. It's no surprise then, that non-Russian authors love to put snippets of Russian speech into their characters' mouths, especially if said characters come from UsefulNotes/TsaristRussia (in {{Period Piece}}s), the Soviet Union (during the UsefulNotes/ColdWar era), or UsefulNotes/TheNewRussia.

** In ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', the Black Widow speaks decent Russian (although not like a native she's supposed to be), while working undercover and being interrogated by a Russian general (who also has an accent, as he's played by a Polish actor). At the end of that scene, she exclaims "Bozhe moi!" ("My God!") after finding out that Coulson wants her to bring in [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] (the only person that terrifies her). Apparently, Creator/ScarlettJohansson had a voice coach train her to say Russian words.

Fanfic usually takes this UpToEleven, to the point that many hetalia fics have to include translations because he says ''plot critical'' things in his own language.
