Well, if you take the latinised version, it would certainly be esperantized
as Basilio /basi'lio/. As for the Russian version (I guess Vasiliy Chernov
is pronounced something like /vasjiljij tSernof/, tell me if I'm wrong, as
I have only a very very basic knowledge of Russian phonology), it would
certainly be semi-esperantized as Vasilij Cxernov (x-convention for the
c-circonflex). At least that's the use in all Esperanto texts I know
featuring Russian names (they usually also add a pronunciation help to give
a hint at the native pronunciation of the word).
