Yup. Harald was so talanted, an actor, comedian, singer, jazzmusician, recording artist, author, tv producer and he reccieved several awards. He had a great "ear" and could fake any language with the right tonality and phonectics. In animated movies as a voiceover he was fabulous and I still remember his fake arabic as a sheik in "Flåklypa Grand Prix, 1975. Brilliant man with a big, warm heart, so funny and I miss him! 😊
Yes - he is doing a heavy Russian accent while speaking Norwegian. During the time this was made - a lot of Russian/Soviet subs were spotted in Norwegian waters. The Russians of course denied everything. So this skit plays of off that.
Legend has it that they showed this to some Russians, they were wondering what Russian dialect he was speaking to Igor 😂 The actor doesn't speak Russian, but it sure sounds like it to me.
Not sure if you got an explanation about this video. During the cold war Russian submarines were spotted in Norwegian water. So this sketch was based off of that;). Some of the text is missing, like what the guy is asking, but I guess the storyline still comes out. He speaks with a Russian accent and is obviously trying to distract the interviewer telling him about Norwegian beauty and language and so on 😂. Which Norwegians always loves, we love being mentioned because we are a small country😅 So yeah they were just there to fish from a huge submarine😂. This was from 1978 but things are not that different even today when it comes to the world.
He's an expert in imitating different languages. Russians will not understand a word of it 😅 Ps: I mean the inspiration to this was a Russian submarine that ran aground in the Swedish coast, it was made after that incident.
Harald Heide Steen jr was a expert in improv comedy, as well as making mock accents. I'm fairly sure that the Russian is all fake, except for putting in some well known words like "da" and "njet" in order to make it seem authentic. He did several of these sketches together with Totto Osvold, the interviewer, and they were apparently unscripted. They just set up the situation, let Harald do his thing, and Totto Osvold just had to act like a real interviewer and keeping a straight face in front of Harald's crazyness. Incidentally, the matter of Soviet submarines in Scandinavian territorial waters is the subject of a Swedish series called "Whiskey on the Rocks" which is out these days. It is apparently made as a comedy (I haven't seen it yet), but based on the real event when a Soviet submarine ran aground outside a Swedish naval base in 1981.

Yes it's all part of the humour. And no he don't speak real Russian it's gibberish.
He just fakes Russian! Being a Russian submarine captain - illegally in Norway! this actor is dead now.
