Likbez - As translated Russian names into English.

                            LIKBEZ



   The last time I talked about one important thing: how
translated some Russian names into English.

   I checked this information from various English-language 
sources, so that its correctness can be no doubt. I will 
enumerate only some names, as the rest of the spelling 
(Vladimir'a, for example), so understandable. Thus, 



  Alexander Alexander

  Alexei Alexei or Alex

  Andrei Andrei, English Equivalents Andrew and Andy

  Victor Victor

  Denis English version of Dennis

  Dmitry seen as Dmitry, and Dmitriy

  Eugene English version of Eugene, Russian does not know

  Ilya Ilya

  Michael Mikhail, the English version of Michael

  Sergei Sergei, the English version of Serge



   That's all ... Small, but there must be a start somewhere! 
By the way, names in the translation do not end at the "ff", 
and the "v", ie Ivanov, Belousov, Stepanov, Romanov, Litvinov.



   Russian letters in proper names usually correspond
The following English:


 A A E E J O Y O U OU, H CH, Li Y
 B B E ^ YO K K P P OO, U TCH b -
 In V W ZH A L P R O F, PH SH W E E
 G × Z M M S C X KH, H ui SCH Yu YU
 D & D I N N T T C TS b - I'm YA
