Майкл; Михаил


Explanation:
A name's a name; even in Russian, it is still pronounced pretty much the same way and spelled "Майкл". However, if you mean the corresponding Russian name, that will be Михаил (Mee-ha-'il), or Миша ('Mee-sha) for short.

Explanation:

Just pronounce your name the way, in which it sounds in English. "Michael" (Майкл) is the standard Russian translation of your name; we just spell it differently in Russian (i.e. "Майкл"), because we have a different, non-Latin, alphabet.
