If that would provide any reconciliation, the tzdb adopted spelling of
"Kiev" does not follow the official Russian transliteration rules either.
Russian name "Киев" would be transliterated as "Kiyev" ("е" after a vowel
is transliterated as "ye".)
As others have mentioned already, tzdb does not use transliterated local
names. It uses English names.
