Using a topical war criminal to point out a Quite Interesting language fact:
There is no international system for transcribing Cyrillic. So here is the spelling of the name of a certain Pri*o*in* in various languages.
But the king of variety is Nikita S. Хрущёв.
Of course, not just is there no international system, there is no universally agreed system for English either. But these are the versions from the Wikipedias.
