Yep. It really sounds like some Russian trying to speak Italian!
Strangely, Portuguese has even more typical Slavic intonations than Romanian. But when a Portuguese speaks another language than his own it sounds distinctively Mediterranean, Latin, Iberian.
On the other hand, a Romanian speaking French or English sounds unmistakeably communist, Iron Curtain, Comecon, Warsaw Pact, Trabant, five-year plan etc.
BTW both Portugueses and Romanians are rather good at speaking foreign languages.
