Correct spelling of some Russian and Bulgarian surnames?
Does anyone know how to spelll these names correctly in English context?
I've seen many versions of them and I would like to know the proper way to translate them. Sorry I can't spell them in cyrillic letters, but I guess if you know the name you'll recognize it... I put my own guess first but I can be really wrong!

Russian:
Kabayeva/Kabajeva/Kabaeva
Chashina/Tchachtchina/Tchashina/Tchachina
Yusupova/Jusupova/Yussupova
Zhukova/Jukova

Ukrainian:
Bessonova/Bezsonova/Bessanova
Godunko/Goduenko
Yerofeyeva/Erofeeva
Pisetsky/Pitsky/Pizetsky/Pisetski
Vitrichenko/Vitrytscenko

Bulgarian:
Peycheva/Peicheva/Peitcheva/Peitseva
Paysieva/Paisieva

Russian?:
Utiacheva/Outisheva/Utisheva/Utyasheva
Gizikova/Guizikova

Azeri?:
Gimatova/Guimatova
Kurbanova/Gurbanova

TIA!
