* ''Webcomic/BillNyeTheRussianSpy'' is jam-packed with this.
** [[TalkingAnimal Nermal]] the Russian Blue Cat speaks Russian instead of purring. He does purr, though, but not as much as he expresses himself through Russian.
** Bill Nye sometimes speaks Russian, although he knows a fair amount of English. "How you say?"s and "English hard"s are prevalent.

** More to the point, [[UsefulNotes/RussianNamingConvention "Sanya" is a diminutive]], not a proper name. The English speaking version would be insisting on calling someone "Dickie" with absolutely no indication that "Richard" or "Dick" exist.

* Music/{{Grimes}} studied Russian language in university, and she's incorporated it into her music quite a few times: She sings in Russian on "Venus in Fleurs" and "Grisgris" (The latter taking its lyrics from a Russian children's poem). "Sagrad прекрасный" ("Sagrad beautiful") and "принцесса" ("princess") have titles in Russian, but don't feature any Russian lyrics.

* ''VideoGame/Reverse1999'' has a few Russian characters who frequently speak Russian, and the subtitles are often written in untranslated Cyrillic. One example is Lilya, an AcePilot who both has a thick accent and peppers her English with Russian words, but the real kicker is Зима, whose name isn't even translated and speaks even more frequently in Russian, again with untranslated Cyrillic subtitles.
