Correction to that Russki: his last name doesn't start with a Z. It starts with a З.

That depends. Kazakhstan switched the Kazakh language to the roman alphabet recently. So now Russian names, when transliterated to Kazakh can start with Z. Still, in this context, it's probably not being used that way.
