I think your guesses are good on the first group of Russian names, on Vitrichenko, and on the Azeri names. As for the rest, I couldn't say.
With Kurbanova/Gurbanova I think both versions are equally valid, but I would expect to see Kurbanova. The Turks, who use the Roman alphabet, spell the forename with a K.
