There is no one correct spelling in English - it's a Russian name and the original is in cyrillic letters. There are several schemes of transliteration which can result in different renderings in English. Both your encyclopaedia and the DT are right.

The 'ye' is actually one letter in cyrillic - sometimes the 'y' is not included in English
