I just want to note that the double s at the beginning is the only mistake in the different spelling. Maybe some would call that "butchering", but I think that's a bit harsh.
The ch and w are the normal German transcriptions of the Russian letters that get transcribed into English as kh and v, so they were appropriate for the German translation, but in English retranslations or reviews, such as this article, they should be retranscribed from the original.
