One of my best friend here in SoFla is from Ukraina and you can tell where he's from as soon as he says hi.
I just did not sense any eastern european accent in the video, but again, I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time...

I wish we could find out for sure! I don't have any experience with accents from the countries you've mentioned, and my 3 yrs of university level Russian was MANY years ago. I do remember the instructor saying thar Russian and Polish were most similar of the slavic languages. I think the comment was "just take Old Church Slavonic and then Polish will be a breeze". My family is of Polish descent, but in the US for several generations.
