I have also constantly been wondering why Danish words with an 'y' (always vocalic) are transliterated into Russian using an 'ю' - 'ы' would be a better choice (not quite the same sound, but at least not pronouced as 'you').
Or why Чайкoвский is written as Tchaikovsky and not Tchaikovskij in English. Sometimes bad habits just stick. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Sounds like success with the Russian. Congratulations. On a side note - I like the Killers too! (I remember in high school my mom freaked out hearing about them because of their name. I had to reassure her it wasn't some death cult, just a regular harmless rock band.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Transliteration can be strange though - в is
transliterated v in Dutch but in publications from some years ago it is always w. My dad talked about Wladiwostok not Vladivostok although the correct transliteration is the latter. Note that w is not English w but something between v and English w usually. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

A bad habbit of transcription of [h] as г in Russian is not fully eliminated. And why is
cognac коньяк in Russian, not коняк? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That former one makes more sense if you pronounce the letter as in the Ukraine or

That's why it appeared. But from the Russian point of view х is closer to h than the Ukrainian г. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I wouldn't say that so quickly, to me the southern Russian г sounds more like h than x
does. 1 person has voted this message useful |
