I am writing a script for an animation for school, and there is a tongue-in-cheek character who is depicted as a Russian spy. Is anyone here fluent in Russian enough to translate a simple sentence and tell me how to pronounce it? It'd help make the movie look more authentic.

"I assure you, the Americans know nothing of my true identity…Yes, I’ve retrieved the documents, but most of them seem to be about Corvettes"

Just do it by faking it. It isn't that hard to sound stereotypically Russian.

Yeah that's the idea. The fact that this character is actually speaking Russian with subtitles would give a "24" vibe to it, making it funnier than just a Russian accent.

Could have sworn there was someone here who said they knew a little Russian.
Haha, midget joke

Я убеждаю вас, американцы незнают ничего о моей настоящей личности... Да, я достал документы, но похоже, что большинство из них, о Корветах.

EDIT: Tell me your skype if you want me to teach you it's pronounciation :|

Thanks Lukyas and Jakut. The ESF community has once again helped me with a flash animation :D.
