I'm not Russian, and neither is most of the people who play this game. In English the name is Kutusov.
Anyways, this, an exerpt from Osprey Military's Austerlitz: Battle of the Three Emperors by David G. Chandler:
"Aged 60, the son of a military engineer, Kutusov's service had begun in the artillery of Catherine the Great. From the gunners he had transferred to the new jaeger formations and had rapidly risen to command that corps. Between 1764 and 1769 he had campaigned with growing distinction in Poland and the Kuraine, and then from 1770 to 1774 in the Crimea against the Turks, during which period he had lost an eye in action. This wound was followed by the receipt of a shot in the head at the siege of Ochakov in 1788, but he recovered from this in time to play a distinguished role in the operations that cleared the Turks from the importatn towns of Odessa, Benda, and Ismail.
...
Today, Kutusov is still regarded with awe and approval in the USSR [written 1990]."
Etc. etc. etc.

Go to google.com, search for Kutuzov and Kutusov. Tell me which you find more accurate hits of.

Despite how some authors may have erroneously spelled it, the proper spelling of the name is Kutuzov. No one who knows the language would ever transliterate Cyrillic z > Roman s. I would question the bona fides of a historian who used the wrong spelling.
Here are the leaders, their names transliterated for that touch of authenticity, that I use for Russia. I'm not an expert on military leaders, but I believe these are well regarded in that respect. People like Lenin and Stalin don't fit this category.
Svyatoslav
Alexandr Nevskii
Dmitrii Donskoi
Ivan Groznyi
Petr Velikii
Alexandr Suvorov
Mikhail Kutuzov
Georgii Zhukov

I've done a quick search myself:
Encarta: Kutuzov
Encyclopedia Britannica: Kutuzov
Encyclopedia.com: Kutuzov
Columbia Encyclopedia: Kutuzov
Thus I've changed it back to Kutuzov.
It's not like you can't change it to whatever you like..... that's what the editor's for.

Well, General Principles of include Heroes in the lists:
1. Because Hero born with win of elite land military units, no sea admirals, no artillerists, no pilots, no civils.
2 No colonial 'heroes' like Pizarro, Cortez etc.
3. In The Game are 4 eras, so is 2 Heroes per era >= 8 Heroes totally.
4. Need >= 1 Heroes for Modern Era.
5. Need >= 1 Hero for Golden Age of Nation. |
2 heroes per era? I find a problem here with some civilizations.
Name 2 modern heroes for, for instance, aztecs or babylonians.
Name 2 ancient American or Zulu heroes.
just my 2 cents.
