I am Russian, and I am a native speaker of bad Russian English. :) This is not it.
A Russian wouldn't use "Amerikanski" as a pejorative, we have "pindosy" for that. And we'd never use "SCOTUS", for variety of reasons.
This styling looks intentional to me, and doesn't seem to be Russian.
The post uses "Amerikanskis" (with the "s" at the end) and it's a big tell. Only people who do not understand any Cyrillic language could come up with something like that.
That was my thought exactly. Someone took a Cyrillic adjective, treated as an English noun, and then applied an English pluralization to it.
It's not the first use of the word, but all of the other examples I can find are very similar English-language jokes/insults.

So a Russian with a deep background in linguistics intentionally bastardized something so it looks like an English speaker trying to sound Russian. Clever.
An actual English speaker wouldn't even know the root word existed.
Not necessarily, you're overthinking this. It's just what anyone with basic vernacular knowledge of English but no actual Russian language skills would do to generate 'pseudo-Russian'. It's a pretty common idiom to make an English adjective into a Russian sounding one by adding '-ski' to the end of the word, and then to pluralise it, add -s to that, as in normal English.
So, for many small Russian cats, we have the following:
'Kitten' -> 'Kittenski' -> 'Kittenskis'

3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_dialectI'm delighted that this whole thing led me to a discussion of 'eye dialect'. I've been fascinated by that sort of writing for years, and I never knew it had an actual name.
Sure they would, it was in every silly American movie about evil Russians in the 80s.
They may not actually be native English speakers, but it would be hard to tell because the affected, consciously bad English overrides unconsciously bad English. I suppose maybe a linguist could comb through it all for subtler stuff like sentence structure.
"Amerikanskis" alone is a pretty serious tip-off. "amerìkānskī" comes up as a Cyrillic adjective for American-style, but I can't find any non-parody instances of people converting it into a pseudo-English noun.
