Belarusians have a peculiar accent when speaking Russian, even if they claim to speak "pure Russian". You can almost always tell whether Russian speaking person is from Belarus or Moscow, East Ukraine, South Russia, Odessa and so on. It also depends hugely on socioeconomic and cultural background of a person.
But also there is plenty of regions in Russia with different pronounciation. So Russians probably wouldn't understand that person speaking to them has Belorussian accent.
All the people from Russia I spoke to spoke to me in the same Russian I hear here in Belarus. The mzfkers here claim it's different, as if it's as different as American and British English. It makes me laugh really.
