Mike,
I appreciate the references. My understanding is that the Russian Cyrillic alphabet underwent a standardization process in the 1916-1917 timeframe which would have resulted in the distinction between the Bulgarian and Russian spelling that you pointed out. I have been informed by others (perhaps incorrectly, I have no way of confirming) that prior to that time the spelling was the same.
