the "Y" sound will get slurred over; this happens in a few other words
where it's inconvenient to pronounce.
Disclaimer: I haven't heard this pronounced by an actual Russian yet, I
just found a Russian web page with his name to be sure of the cyrillic
spelling and then applied the pronunciation rules. The spelling I
found was this (KOI8-R):
