I noticed this player called Barys Kozus'. Is he supposed to have an apostrophe at the end of his name? It's a minor thing but seemed a bit unusual.

I think this apostrophe is for a 'soft sign', a letter to be found in East Slavic languages. It means one should pronounce the last 's' in a softer way. PS.: An alternative would be 'Kazusj', with the 'j' pronounced somewhat close to 'y' in 'yet', only shorter. Both apostrophe and 'j' are not perfect for the task, though.

Thanks!

I tried a quick web search before but couldn't find anything, but searching for "soft sign" and it now makes sense. I learnt something new today
