leaving off articles seems to be very common for Slavic people

Whenever I come across text that has a lot of missing articles, the voice inside my head automatically changes to a Russian accent; and in the instances where I've bothered to find out the author, it was always someone from Russia or some other ex-USSR country, so it seems I've already ingrained this characteristic at a subconscious level.




Poles, Czechs etc. also do this and IMHO, their accent sounds quite different from the Russian one.
