A question about Russian accents: if you accept the convention that all these people speaking English dialogue would really be speaking Russian, then why expect them to speak English with "foreign" accents? I mean, Russians speaking Russian to each other don't affect an accent. They just talk.
Now, if you do a movie where a native Russian speaker is communicating in English with speakers of some other language (say, Gary Oldman in Air Force One) it's reasonable he would have an accent.
Anna Karenina is not an easy book to film. The 1930s Garbo version is not too bad, though she does seem awfully serious to to fall for a pretty boy like Vronsky.
