It's not Russian. I concur with Kelly, it sounds Danish to me. But, further more, he wouldn't have been speaking English to begin with, probably Dutch since, in the overview, it refers to him as a Dutch soldier. But that's only a guess. And it's plausible that over time his accent would have thinned out to what we see on the show, but what annoyed me was the fact that not only did he and the Native American woman speak the same language (ok. Maybe they could both speak French or Dutch even, whatever the traders would have been speaking in the area) but that they both spoke perfect english. Not to mention those scenes were so low budget it was embarrassing (case and point: the beard could no have looked more glued((probably taped since it's cheaper)) on even if the spirit gum was dripping off his chin).   See 3 other replies
