- eimrine 4y agoI do not feel I can assure you this is correct but -v ending is literally what is written in Russian. Correctness in surnames is not an easy topic. An exapmle with not Russian surname: half of world pronounce Noam Chomsky as "Khomsky" and another half as "Chomsky". Maybe he wants himself to be written as Markoff, I do not know exactly, but from my understanding his wanting must be kind of an ultimate source of truthness in this question. For example, some Vladimirs (a common Russian name) really want their names to be written as Wladimir, despite a "correct" transcript for this name is V-. I have found an article which desrcibes -ff topic in general, hope you can use a translator: https://regnum.ru/news/1943117.html https://regnum.ru/news/1943117.html
