To talk like a russian

To tell lies, especially when others know the truth.

Originates from the way how russian propaganda lies to everyone about their actions by twisting the truth. Like when they shelled Ukrainian cities and blamed Ukrainians for that. In other words, if russians are talking about it, they are most certainly lying.

Have you heard about James?
YES! I can't believe he decided to talk like a russian about what happened to him in Vegas!
I know, what a liar.

Talking like a Russian

Blatantly lying for the sake of propaganda purposes. Saying something which is obviously untrue to justify some ill deed.

"Of course I'm not expecting sex with you tonight", I said over the phone, talking like a Russian as I packed a big bottle of lube, half a dozen condoms and a small bottle of roofies.
