transliteration

[baron chivrin]

dear seelangers,

which is the most accepted way to transliterate the following word:
(1) chernozyom
(2) chernozjom
(3) chernoziom (i have seen this transliteration in print in articles
printed decades ago)

i tend to prefer #1, but would like to know if there is an accepted
academic standard, and if so, is usage affected at all by the preceding
letter? reacting purely viscerally, i want to eschew the 'zj'
combination. it just looks so nasty.
