I don't know if this was anecdotal or not, but a year or so after the Iranian hostage crisis my highschool science teacher told us that some students had also taken over the Russian compound in Iran and taken hostages.
The Russian response was something like, the people there knew the risk, but you have invaded Russian soil, and the (nuke) bombers are in the air. The Iranian response was something like, opps, we thought you were Americans!! Sorry!!!
Again, don't know if it was true or not, but I can absolutely see Russia doing it.
As to America, we would send Delta in, hostages would die, and the liberals would hand wring and complain that we should have negotiated and why didn't Bush do something to prevent it?
