Whenever someone speaks another language, how much is their accent influenced by their dialect?
Let's say two Russians are equally skilled at speaking English but are from widely different parts of Russia with wildly different dialects. When speaking English they'll have a decidedly Russian accent, but will their accents be different enough that they're from different parts of the country?
