Robin,
yes, our traditional food is not so spicy vs. Asian (Orienthal) dishes. But I believe there are many special small grocery stores in USA with Russian and Ukrainian food, for example. And you can easily make real Borshch and other dishes by yourself! There is only one missing point - you won't be able to find the real smetana (sour cream with 20-30% fat as we have it here) to add to make a great tasted Borshch...
