If English is not my native language and I'm in my mid-20s, is it still possible to acquire a truly 'native' accent? Some people say that it's pretty much impossible once you hit puberty, is it actually so?

Russian here. The man who spoke against Radek got into jail first, while Radek was still a respected member of the Party. The man who praised him got into jail later, when Radek was no longer in favour. The essence of the joke is that in the 30s the 'line of the party' changed so often and one had to be very attentive to the changes in political climate - or face jail time.
