It does appear on USSR topo sheet N-35-VI 1:200,000 by Upravlenie Voennyck
Topografov, dated 1934.  If my transliteration is correct it reads
Lebonovishch which I'm sure is a spelling mistake, because on Deutsche
Heereskarte Russland 1:100,000 Zusammendruck Lepel, sheet N-35-33/34/45/45,
it is spelled Leonowicze.  That sheet was published by OKH/GenStdH, 1943.
The University of Alberta map collection also seems to hold the Tsarist Army
2 Verst sheet (1:84,000) XI-25 which would show this village.  I wouldn't be
able to see it until Monday though, I don't think.  My schedule, not theirs.

I can provide photocopies of any of these that your patron might wish to
see.  It shows as a dot on the 1:200,000 but as a linear village on the
1:100,000.
