I have troubles with writing anything in Russian key:
Êàðìåí Âåðòèêîâ or Êàðìåí Âåðòèêîâà.
It looks weird if you don't change the encoding into cyrillic (go view-ecoding-cyrillic) .
I can also show you, how do the two words "Carmen" and "Vertikov" look like in Russian.
Carmen:

I think you're female. That means your family name wouldn't be Vertikov, it is Vertikov
a. :)
Vertikova:

I hope this is somewhat heppful.
