I also thought that Portuguese was Russian when I heard it the first time. Then I thought it must be some weird Caucasus language and not European at all. Now that I'm learning Portuguese its not at all that weird or different and sounds like an European language. I think that the Portuguese from Portugal more like Russian than the Portuguese from Brazil.

Portugal only shares a land border with one country, lad. Spanish is fairly easy to understand for a native lusophone, especially if the person is exposed to it. There are even some teachers from other neighbouring hispanohablante countries in my uni and it doesn't matter too much even if they may speak with a thick accent and commit the most simple grammatical mistakes

It varies a lot from dialect to dialect, though. But considering Lisbon's pronunciation, I can easily see why people would confuse it with Russian...
