Transliteration help

[Hunter, Robert]

Uvazhaemye Seelangers,
     This past June, Novgorod's name was officially changed to Novgorod the
Great.  I have seen three versions of the transliteration.  Which is the
preferable one?
        1.  Veliky Novgorod (from a friend in Novgorod)
        2.  Velikiy Novgorod (from the NY Times)
        3.  Velikii Novgorod (from me)
     Spasibo.
        Robert
