One of the things we used to try in the Map Division when I was a student
assistant there long, long ago, was to try systematically to vary and/or
omit the vowels and to substitute Latin-1 characters for "equivalent
sounding" Cyrillic consonants.  I used to do it as a list on a tablet to be
sure I had all the possibilities before I started searching for the place
name in the Office of Geography's gazetteers.  In my 2 years there, I
resolved about 25 of them.

In the case of Lunedovo, I'd get started by substituting for the "e" only,
then for the terminal "o" only.  Then, I'd try the combination of the "e"
and the terminal "o" simultaneously. If that didn't work, I'd make up the
complete substitution lists for all the vowels.  In my time doing this kind
of search, I found that often "e" and "a" get substituted for each other
and sometimes for or by other vowels.  I'd also try including "i" and "y"
if the "a"/"e" swap doesn't work.  Finally, you might want to try "u" for
the first "o".

Hope this helps.
