With a little research, Radio Moscow isn't hard to find.  The NPR
affiliate radio station I used to work for broadcast Radio Moscow
news every friday.  Each afternoon, the station broadcast a tape from
a foreign service, and friday was RM's turn.  Check with your local
public radio stations to see if they carry it.
My opinion of RM?  They lay it on thick, very thick.  The delivery is
unaccented yet stilted, and heavy into the rhetoric that you thought
was just used in movies.  Another interesting source is a publication
the Air Force puts out (unclassified) called "Soviet Military Press
Review," or something like that.  This is a translation of unclassified
Soviet military publications, like our "Army" and "Naval Institute
Procedings" magazines.  Both translations and some Crillic text are included,
for practice I suppose.  I though RM laid it on thick `til I read this
magazine, which is a translation of how they talk to their military
people.  No presentation of the other points of view, no positive views
of the other sides, just pounding the party line, every other word an
adjective.  This is an exampl of how they presented a historical article
on the "Great Patriotic War."

   "The valiant, every victorious soldiers of the glorious Soviet motherland
   soon made short work of the cowardly Hitlerites."

You can't read it for very long.
