An old one, from the cold war...
The CIA administration, enraged that all of their agents are uncovered and them being unable to plant a successful spy in mother Russia, take it seriously and elect the most talented one at hand. He's given a perfect education in Russian language, various dialects and accents of it, its literature; Russian customs, culture, lifestyle et al. After a long time's hard work, the agent is a perfect Russian.
They drop him under utmost stealth near a godforsaken village in Siberia. He advances to the village and perfectly imitates a lost farmer from a remote village. They give him blankets, vodka et al and seat nearby a stove.
One of the elderly asks:
― So, you're American eh? 
Shocked, the agent proclaims in his perfect Russian:
― How come?! How do you think such nonsense?
