Nope. ("vash" in Russian means "yours" _ 3rd poers. plural and polite form)
Vash derives from "Var", meaning "man or person"

Vash has lots of lexical items from Russian, although you probably would not
recognize them. The modal particle -mo (be able to), for example, derives

case endings - a genetive, a la English, and an instrumental a la Russian.
Pronouns also have dative and accusitive forms.
