I HATE when languages get butchered by Hollywood in this way. It's unbelievable that they spend MILLIONS making the film, and they can't be bothered to find 1 Russian speaking person to just check their spelling and dodgy translations by Google Translate!
And if they MUST have Russian villains in films, how about hiring REAL Russians...?
Of course, Russia and Russians are not the only victims of this.
I once watched a porn film (reluctantly) where a German person was pretending to be Swedish, apparently that was the norm for a long time. And in old war films, again - perhaps German actors don't WANT to play Germans... but there are 80 million Germans, surely they can find someone suitable.
But in all fairness, Russian films are not much better for portraying Germans.... And the Swedish ambassador in the film "Иван Васильевич меняет профессию"!!
