Cool question: definitely Russian.
His style is too pompous and cosmipolitan
Also VN had ABSOLUTELY ZERO command of colloquial english, so that DQs him. Seriously- read his dialogue; it's painful. Thats why he avoided it

Has anyone read speak memory or strong ops? He's a (self-described) Russian born, American writer.
Idk whose opinion matters more, ours or his.
But unless you know Russian as well as English lololol
