Nabokov didn't have a horrible accent. To me it sounds extremely British and nothing else. https://youtu.be/Ldpj_5JNFoA?t=47 https://youtu.be/Ldpj_5JNFoA?t=47

- edderly 8y agoIt's quite an interesting accent, definitely not British, more Mid-atlantic but you still get the east European burr.
- crispinb 8y agoNabokov spoke with a pleasant accent to my ears (and brilliantly of course), but no-one from the UK would think for a millisecond it was native.
- oh_sigh 8y agoNo, but what I was saying was that within my context as a native English speaker, his accent is within the realm of possibilities.
- CraneWorm 8y agoHis accent is Slavic, but a very slight one. I struggle with the same sounds.
