Right. However, things like "caucus" and "SCOTUS" are really unlikely to be written by a Russian, on any English knowledge level. We do make mistakes, but our mistakes are different. In this text, there are too few common mistakes, and too many strange things.

Even the most native of idioms can be learned, and there are plenty of fully bi-tri lingual people in the world. Mining the text for cultural clues is a fool's errand.
