[Surname] Re: Krivoshein and Unshlikht
1. Krivoshein → Khrivoshin or Krivoshin
2. Unshlikht → Unshlikht or Unshlikh
These are the likely non-Russified forms, closer to the original Yiddish or Eastern European roots.

As a person who knows a bit about Yiddish, those aren't the original forms (except possibly Krivoshin, but that's maybe). Unshlikht also possibly could be the same in Yiddish and Russian. Yiddish names tend to look Germanic, but spelled a bit different.
