Thread: How is Boukreev pronounced?

Forgetting about length, the u-sound in букреев is closer to the u-sound in BOOT than the u-sound in BOOK.
I don't pronounce the u-sound in Russian утро any different than the u-sound in English boot. I guess that is just a thing that adds to my accent. =:^)

Oh, since I don't have sound, I cant' use the audio features.
