I don't see the problem. Almost every citys name is wrong in Civ 5 in one way or another. Moscow? No, it's Москва (Maskva). Persepolis? It's Pārsa, city of Iran, not Persia. -Polis is Greek suffix, surely, similarly to how -ovka is Slavic. What's that Heliopolis, seriously, Egyptians 4 thousand years ago did not name their cities in Greek. It's actually something close to Iunu. Next, we have Rome, <snip> please, Romans did not name their cities in English, don't make me laugh. Rōma. But at least it's close enough.
I don't have any problems with Pokrovka, nor any other historical inaccuracy in Civ5 games. They are not supposed to be historic, they are strategy games with little historic flavor, but nowhere near "historical" games. And Firaxis proved time and again they don't care about accuracy. They managed to confuse Kremlin with St. Basil's Cathedral. Their unique units are sometimes (historically) not military units (Praetorians), or not units at all (Quechua). City names is nothing by comparison.
