American Accents in Russian

[mangiami.livejournal.com]

Is there a stereotyped impression about American-accented Russian? For example, do many Russians usually think it sounds goofy, pompous, sexy, etc.?

What are the main speech characteristics that identify an American accent in Russian?

Are there any typical usages of Russian that will immediately identify a person as an American, even if they are speaking perfectly accented Russian? (E.g. In Japanese, I believe, overusing "I (watashi)" as a pronoun would make you sound American, even if you are using perfect pronunciation)

Not so much that (since we were told we could ommit half those consonants), but words like 'vstremtitcya' (which I am probably misspelling, and I'm too lazy to go mess with the Cyrillic right now).
