Yep. Search and you will find. But hardly other way.

Edit: There was a time I was looking around for dialects and accents. No travels though. You see, in Donbass we have people of very different origin. Once I found a guy with something in his intonations made me guess he is originally from the Western Ukraine. I asked him. OMG, he was from Vladivostok.

When in Odessa I tried to find famous Odessa speaking. I was walking around the city and listening how people conversates with each other. From little children to very old. Accent not found. Pure Russian everywhere.
