More or less. In Dutch I would say [lEf tOl'stOj].
I'm have my doubts about the "l_j" in your transcription; it implies a soft
sign, and I don't think it's there in Russian. But I could be wrong, since
Russian is - at best - my L6.
About Khachaturian I'm even less sure; it's an Armenian name and thus bound to
different rules. All I know is that the accent is one the last syllable,
indeed.
