With respect to the Jewish accent, i.e. non-pronouncing of the rolling
Russian R, I just remembered that there was some joke whose punch line was
"Obgusevshie lebedi" (allusion to "obrusevshie evrei" and of course the
H-Ch Andersen's fairy tale). This phrase was later adopted by Igor'
Guberman for his writings.
