Wrong English accent of Siri

Hello! I heard, Siri's speech should have been improved recently.

I have noticed that Russian Siri started to use "wrong" English accent. And if you ask her read a text (for example in iBooks) it reads it like somebody with a bad Russian accent.

I used this feature to hear correct English pronunciation and it's useless for me now.

It looks like she was educated from people's requests who has accent and uses it now.

Settings > Siri & Search > Siri Voice - select the voice that you prefer, both by spoken language and preferred accent.

There is only a choice between male and female voice there.
