Yep, but not quite in the same context. Many years ago I played in a game where the PC's were all Warsaw Pact POW's who escaped from the prison camp they were being held in in Florida and decided to make for Texas to link up with Division Cuba. We played them as 'good Russians', helping local communities they encountered against marauders etc (they'd stashed their uniforms and disguised themselves in civlian clothes and several of them spoke good English - one of them was an officer in the Polish 6th AAD who'd been captured at Czechestowa (sp) - before the War his father had been Polish Defence Attache to the US, so he'd lived in Washington DC for a number of years and was a fluent English speaker).
Sadly they never made it to Texas - due to other commitments the game pretty much petered out somewhere in Louisiana, although not before one of group (a twenty something private in the VDV) had met and married a refugee named Britney Spears (obviously she wasn't a celebrity, just another refugee...)
