>>(*) I can take a lot of mispronunciation, even with my last name... but this case is becoming ridiculous. Just the other day I heard Joe Biden pronounce it as "kroos-chev". First, it's not a kay, it's an aitch. When the Russian official spelling has a kh, it's h as in "his", never a kay. They have a k for that. Second, it's not borsht, it's borshch - sh, ch, as in "newschannel" (yep, they pronounce it as noosh channel). Last, forgivable, is that the accented e like that is pronounced like yo - o would be good. So Hruschchov, Gorbachov, despite the spelling. Russian grammar says there should be an umlaut on the e in such cases, but nobody does it. It's there only while you learn the language; in real life you just won't see it.
