It would be nice but I always saw Ukrainian СОЛОВЬОВ rendered as SOLOVOV.
Isn't it so?

Sincerely,

>>> Both Library of Congress transliteration system and  International

>>> apostrophes for a soft sign simply dropping this letter in
>>> transliteration.
>>> As a result, the same last name ending in Ukrainian as "ЬОВ" or in
>>> Russian as "ЁВ" might be transliterated as ending with "OV", "YOV",
>>> and "EV."
>>> Is there any rule to follow?
