Re.: The Random House Dictionary, ISBN 0-394-51200-6, p. 1040 RUSSIAN transliteration.
no other way, I guess. Perhaps, if a person knows German, you can explain the 1 vowel & the second sound as 'U'-Umlaut which is closer than yu transliteration. As the second version 'ju' is given in the 'Re.:', but I suppose it just has German origin. 'zh' is the only standard way to transliterate the letter. Quite rarely I've seen 'j' version for that sound, but it creates problem to avoid 'd'-sound and is applied for Asion persons where 'd' is slightly pronounced.
Good luck, mjodlowiec!
