    Prince Myshkin's full name?

    I've seen it cited as being "Lyov" and sometimes as "Lev". Has anyone read the original Russian and can comment on this?

    I hope this shows up. The version I have has his name listed as:

    Лев Николаевич

    I would tend to pronounce it as Lev, or actually Lyev, from
    Л (L as in lamb)
    е (ye as in yet)
    в (v as in victory)

    Prince Myshkin's full name

    Lev is to Lyova as John to Johnny, or Alexey to Alyosha.
