For example I don't pronounce voiced consonants at the end of words. Also I reduce unstressed vowels. krye is not convenient to pronounce either.
Oh, Marcus, sorry, you are right here. It must be [f] at the end. We, Russians, just don't think about it (it's just ingrained in our brain) and often forget it: ALL consonants MUST be VOICELESS at the end, that's a phonetic rule (we just do it automatically since we have been taught to speak). Definitely, it is [f].
