Actually my last name is quite difficult for portuguese-speaking people.
It is a Russian name, liberally translated from the Cyrillic alphabet by
some imigration officer when my grandfather came to Brazil.

I pronounce it more or less like this:

  Ierusalimschy - Ee êh roo zah leems key

-- Roberto
