Sounds like you've got either mixing in your radio, or two signals
from different areas arriving at your QTH at the same instant. The
latter has been known to happen, although not that often. Usually one
signal will dominate. If they're at the same signal strength, then you
just have lucky propagation. I seem to remember that when the Beeb
used 9525 for their Central American service a few years ago (before
it was canned) that during the dead air I would hear Middle Eastern
music very faintly in the background. As I remember, there was no
Passport entry that matched, and I never did figure out who it was.

The Russian talking is probably a Russian domestic station like a
Rossii outlet. I don't think VOR uses 9525. There are a couple dozen
privately owned Russian domestics using/leasing old Soviet
transmitters. Russia is so big and its population so fragmented that
shortwave is a necessity. Schedules often shift, with the only notice
being given on the air. If you don't happen to be listening AND speak
Russian, you're out of luck.

I handed off one of my old SW radios to some Russian immigrant
neighbors years ago. They loved to listen to Russian domestic radio.
It was a little taste of home in a strange land. They loved it so much
that they asked to buy my Yaesu FRG-8800 at one point, because the
radio I'd given them didn't have too much pull (a DX440). I declined.
They responded by rigging a longwire to the 440's external jack.
