JMS: Pronouncing "Ivanova"

I've known Russians who've used the same kind of pronunciation we
have given Ivanova. It does vary. Heck, my name is pronounced
STRUH-ZIN-SKI, when it *should* be correctly pronounced STRA-CHIN-SKI.
Both are acceptable. And you get different pronunciations in central
Russia from places like byelorussia or the more Eastern provinces.
