I figured they probably originally came from Russia/Slavic region, but the family moved over when they were still quite young, around primary school age... and then they lived in an area that had the same ethnic population, so everyone was speaking Russian 75% of the time anyway. (... Also so I could have Anya not able to get rid of her accent to save her life.)
As for parents, no headcanon on the mother, but I figured Dad was probably extremely domineering -- hence why Anya's livin' in the dorms. Shh, don't tell dad that's why.
