Yes. I can clearly distinguish russian spoken in Minsk vs russian spoken in Moscow. And the words like шуфлядка will quickly indicate who is who.

It is not that obvious when comparing speakers from two villages near the border though

Very interesting, my grandparents from western Ukraine said «шуфлядка». We also say «таний» instead of «дешевий» and «тхір» (тхор) instead of «скунс».

A drawer (or "выдвижной ящик стола" in Russian).

From what I've heard at times, most Russians don't tend to use "подъезд" in the meaning of apartment block segments/entrances either.

We use подъезд as apartment block/entrance.

No. We def use подъезд as entrance at least in Moscow. Maybe also парадная in Petersburg

I'm Belarusian and never used the word 'шуфлядка' in my speech. The same applies to the differences between Russian and Belarusian. I personally wouldn't be able to "clearly distinguish" Russian in Russia and Belarus for the most part.
