[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] POLISH DIACRITIC " L" EQUIVALENT IN RUSSIAN

[Otto]

I concur with Howard on perhaps the Cyrillic character "B" "b"=  V v  
(veh) being the character used.
Listening to it pronounced in Russian sounds at times like "veh" and  
at times like "weh", giving us the desired "W" sound.
Check it out:    http://masterrussian.com/blalphabet.shtml
-download the Realplayer pronunciation of the whole alphabet.
-Also listen to each single character being pronounced by klikking  
the character.
Definitely a useful aid in deciding...
