Re #2: Russian normally devoices final consonants (not just 'v') of words and before unvoiced consonants at morpheme boundaries, but since such consonants only occur finally in Lojban cmevla, I think it's a very minor problem. The Russian devoicing doesn't affect l, r, m, n, but this shouldn't affect perception of Lojban either.
ki'e Thanks for catching that. My biggest problem as someone who learned Russian as a kid but then didn't have exposure to consistent Russian schooling after the fact is that I am rarely consciously aware of these details.
I also completely forgot when writing point two that indeed in lojban only cmevla end in consonants, so in practice I think you're probably right and that point would not have all that high of an impact.
