I once heard that Lenin spoke with an Irish accent. I know a few people from South America that also spoke with a US accent because that’s where their teachers are from.

His English tutor was Irish. James Connolly’s son (yes, that James Connolly) met Lenin and noted that he spoke English with an Irish accent.

I’ve known quite a few foreigners with distinctly American accents because they learnt it from Hollywood films.
