I can believe that people from large cities have a distinguishable accent, but it is very mild. I cannot reliably distinguish such speakers in most cases. Also, it depends where from Russia the person is. But with “standard” Moscow Russian it is very hard even for locals.

People from small cities and villages often have noticeable accent though.
