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».
