In the book, did they ever explain Connery's Scottish accent?
LOL, no. I loved the way Ramius Connery pronounced "хорошо." It came out sounding like "horrorshow."
In the movie, I think they said he was Lithuanian and therefore did not have a pure allegiance to the USSR.
Yes, and he was pissed at the USSR because they screwed up his wife's medical care, killing her. I believe he sent a letter to his father-in-law to that effect, explaining his defection.
