Don't
be surprised by different spellings of my name (3yeb in Cyrillic).
Zouev is what I had in my international passport, Zuyevis the way I started
to sign my papers (long before I have got my first international passport)
and Zuev is how some interpreters spelt my name having translated
my first articles from Russian. Note also that the closest French pronunciation
gives spelling Zouyeff that is already 7 letters long and I am sure
it is not yet a limit!
To add more confusion, Russian authorities
recently changed the names transcription system from French to
English manner. So in my new passport I have become Sergey Zuev
. And they do not care that suddenly I ceased to own
my bank account, credit cards and even my home! Fortunately
people are still recognising me...
So if you come across a paper written by a certain
Serg*   Z*ev,
I have to say it,
I have to say it,
It was probably me.
