I know when I first started working anytime I spoke with people who were from russia, or any of the eastern block I thought they were rude and had no manners it was in fact just the way they spoke and was not personal at all.
Next time you call and she starts asking why, why why, simply say I would like to speak to him please and then wait. She will give him the phone when she finds that her "game" is no longer un-nerving you. Don't hang up on her again because she probably doesn't know she is being offensive. It could be this is her attempt at a joke.
