In my novel, Matt goes to the club in Moscow and starts walking towards a Russian mafia.

I have written the following line;

> Christoff was sitting in the club balcony with his acquaintances. As we proceded towards Christoff, one of the bouncers stopped Matt by gently pushing him on his chest.
> 
> _“Where do you think you are going?”_
> 
> The bouncer questioned **in a thick Russian accent**.

Now That is not really how a club bouncer in Moscow speak or even ask the stranger.

Think it this way, a Scottish person will say the same sentences in a way different than London bred Englishman.

I have just written, **_He said in a thick Russian accent_**. But this does not give justice to the character and plot incident that is about to commence.

Maybe the Russian will say;

> "You gotta be kidding, proceeding this part of the club.

So what is the fast or legitimate way to design English dialogues spoken by non-English characters?
