It's not possible to write ALL names of people who are "Russians" (i mean, who are born/lived in Russian Empire/pre-1917) in Latin transcription. Such task needs VERY VERY MUCH amount of time to do. Wasted time, I tell you.
If we talk about Russian/Cyrillic profiles - information about them mostly came from sources written by Russian - metric books, revision lists, special genealogical literature and others sources. Creators/modifiers of these profiles - are mostly also Russian-speak users, who can read old handwriten sources.
Also there are many ways to write Cyrillic names in Latin. As example, your surname Проваторов (?) can be written as Provatoroff (french style of cyrillic transcription...), Provatorov, Provatorow, etc... Михаил can be written as Michail, Michael, Mihail, Misha, etc... Search machine of geni are not automatically substitute/add such names to search lists, so it's need to search them separately.
And please, remember, that Russian names are traditionally constists from first name, patronimic name and surname, as could be hundreds and thousands of peole with names of "Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov". So these often give a problems to identify them even in Cyrillic.
If some profile of Russian born people are written only in Latin - it's mostly hard to find them here in geni and add information from Russian sources (for ex, birth/baptised record).
So it's messing thing to transcript Cyrillic to Latin.
And it's obviously that these profiles must be created and written in Cyrillic as basic.
If we talk about people who are citizen of foreign country, but with "Cyrillic" ancestry - Yes, their names/surnames must be written firstly as they written in official documents by their now-familiar language and transcription. But profiles their Russian born and lived ancestors can by written on Cyrillic as basic.
