If we were starting from scratch today, we'd probably do better. (I hope we would retain the "v" sound in "ÐÐÐÐÐÐÑÐÐÐ" instead of converting it to "f".)
Except there is no "v sound", only an "f sound" in the Russian pronunciation of ÐÐÐÐÐÐÑÐÐÐ due to regressive assimilation.
Just like in English or French, as far as I can perceive. The reason for spellings like "Stroganoff" for "Stroganov" is word-final devoicing in Russian, which is absent from French and at least much less marked in English, so it had to be denoted explicitly.
