May be this can help: Russian language does not have the letter <i> in its
alphabet. Watch for this letter in the text!

Russell,
  I don't know if there's a guide (other than a Ukranian and Russian
dictionaries), but I usually go by the letter 'i'.  Ukranians use the
Latin 'i', whereas the Russians use the Cyrillic version  (a 'u' when
writing in cursive).
 
  Not a comprehensive guide, but it usually works for my limited
purposes.

     Dear Russell Guy of Omni Resources:-
 
     It should be simple (!) for you to obtain the following essential
     adjunct to geographic/cartographic personnel/institutions who have
     care of non-English language/non-Roman script materials:-
 
     Romanization systems and Roman-script spelling conventions / prepared
     by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, Foreign Names Committee Staff.
     - [Washington DC:] Defense Mapping Agency, 1994. - iv,109p.; 28cm. -
     Title and statement of responsibility taken from front cover
 
     NB: ensure that you have a copy with the revise of p.105
     ('Romanization system for Ukrainian: BGN/PCGN 1965 System' as it so
     happens!) as this has a corrected transliteration for letter no.5 (it
     should read as 'g' when romanized - not 'h' as in the first version of
     the page issued in the complete publication).
 
     See you in Amsterdam at IMTA (with an amended copy for you of the BCS
     Map Curators' Group 'Directory of UK map collections)
