Cyrillic, and the letters that look familiar and are not
Cyrillic was built in the ninth century from Greek letters, with new ones added for the sounds Greek did not have, and it is used today for Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian and a long list of other languages. Because of the Greek ancestry, several letters look exactly like Latin ones and are read quite differently: the letter that looks like a P is an R, the one that looks like a B is a V, the one that looks like an H is an N.
That is the practical reason to transliterate a name properly rather than by eye. A name transcribed letter by letter from its Latin spelling would be read as something else entirely; a proper transliteration follows the sound.
Russian spelling is fairly regular, so what comes back is a spelling that a Russian speaker will read close to your name, with the usual adjustments where Russian does not have the sound in question.
