I stumbled upon a site which may bring some amusement to readers:

http://www.forvo.com/ <http://www.forvo.com/word/%D1%8D%D1%81%D0%B5%D1%80/>

You can search for the pronunciation of words in 267 languages and there are
maps and translations into English. Presently, the database of Russian words
numbers 79,722, with 20,601 words pending pronunciation. Mind you, there are
oddities, like a male from Taiwan/Serbia/Spain pronouncing words in Russian,
but there are also many authentic pronunciations. There are more trivial
things one could do with a few spare minutes!
