While it's great you're inspired to learn a new language, no matter the reason, I'm laughing at you thinking any Cyrillic you see in a fic will be remotely accurate. Mostly because no writer worth their salt would do that, which means you're reading badfic, which means the author won't have done due diligence and gotten a proper source, or if they're a native speaker, it won't be worth reading anyway, because as I said--badfic.

I've never seen a fic that needed to actually use another language and did it well. I've seen a few original stories that incorporate Spanish really well, but--surprise!--they're written by people who are actually bilingual and so have a much better understanding of "other" languages. Why more people don't just use "So-and-so said something in rapid Russian," I don't know.

It makes a lot of sense for a Bucky POV though, or a Natasha one too. I know at least one fic that used short Russian phrases (swears mostly) very effectively. It gave an impression of how Bucky is re-learning his identity, but slips into imitating the responses he picked up from his fellow soldiers. He thinks in English and the words that tumble from his mouth when he's startled may as well be random symbols to him as well.
Maybe I would see it differently if I didn't read Russian though.
