I don't think that a native Russian speaker would do that; however this might be the producers' idea of funny Russian accent. On the other hand, there is a similar moment in the movie "Lost in translation" where a Japanese woman says "Lip my stocking" instead of "rip", the idea possibly being that she is so proud of her ability of pronouncing the "l" sound that is not in the Japanese language that she now puts it everywhere, where it should and where it should not be; possibly the creators of "Stat Trek" were reasoning along similar lines. But this is only a guess.
