Mmm, Russian is my 4th language so I don't know it awesomely but I'm pretty sure Russian doesn't really go well into the Latin alphabet- the sounds are quite different. If you've ever bought a English-Russian book, all of them (or at least the ones that I've bought) expect you to learn Cyrillic within the first few pages of the book (ironic as many Japanese language books only use romaji). The only book I found that has phonetic Russian pronounciation is the Berlitz Russian phrase book and it's kinda wonky (e.g. Хорошо = khah-rah-shoh). As far as I know there isn't an established system for writing Cyrillic in the Latin alphabet. :/
