I have a lot of Russian friends and they tend to spell their name how it sounds. I actually know friends of Jahar's since I am from Boston and spent a lot of time tutoring student athletes at Cambridge Rindge and Latin circa 2009,10,11 and the times I've seen my former students write out his name it has always been…
