What can it be?
It seems that Tom really...
or only:
It seemed that ... (and now Tom doesn't seem so)

"Tom seemed really impressed" describes an event that happened in the past. At the time of the speech, Tom seemed to be really impressed by it. It doesn't mean he's no longer impressed, just that he was impressed at the time the speech was given by Mary.

"Tom seems really impressed with Mary's speech." is present tense and would be said while the speech is taking place.

Frankly, it's a dilemma 4 me.

We say that so: It seems that Tom + present or past tense (as the russian example)
and then it goes on in the present, too

or: It seemed that Tom...
but then it seems so (now) no more


(thx for the answer)
