+I was born in Latvia, which at the time was a part of the USSR.
+My birth certificates are in Russian, where my name in Cyrillic is
+*Артем Шинкаров*.  Its correct transliteration is *Artem Shinkarov*.
+
+Unfortunately, in my passport, the name has been transliterated into
+*Artjoms Šinkarovs*.  Mind extra *s*-es at the end, *jo* in the 
+middle and *Š* instead of *Sh*.  This is something I cannot change
+due to crazy Latvian rules.
+
+In the UK my name has been transliterated once again, simply
+by throwing away the diacritical symbols; so I ended up with
+*Artjoms Sinkarovs*.
+
+While Latvia recognises that this is a problem, no proper solution
+has been ever implemented.  One poor solution that they offer is
+to put the correct transliteration of your name in the passport.
+Here is a snippet of my passport:

+
+While this makes the story above more credible, it is an absolute
+nightmare to convince enforce this extra name as the official
+one in the documents.
