Not OP but
People pronounce it GOncharov, it should be GoncharOv.
It can be argued that it's a foreign word and people shouldn't be expected to get it right. True. But it's not a difficult surname and it's easily googled. Also it's beneficial for people who make audio/video content to do a basic research.
We are expected to know every piece of history from English-speaking world, expected to get all the names right, we are mocked about accent.

SA
*I've got unexpectedly heated*
So saying this, it would be really nice if English-speaking world extended the same courtesy. It's a really simple word, it doesn't have any tschs or letters that don't exist in Latin alphabet

Nobody mocks you for pronouncing our names your way when you're speaking Russian. If some Western fan starts learning Russian and talking about Goncharov in Russian, I'd expect them to pronounce it the way it should be pronounced in that language. In English, we change it because even though your way is not hard to pronounce the sounds of, it still sounds and feels clunky with the flow of English. Doing this exact thing is not new and not limited to one language. I don't think anyone should be mocked for how they pronounce things in any language, but your comparison is apples to oranges.

DA Don't lump all of us in with you, please. Goncharov is not hard to pronounce, and only Americans would be making that first bit sound like 'GO'.

NAYRT - No one is making the first syllable sound like Go. The “GO” in the previous statement is referencing which syllable is stressed. Putting the stress in the first syllable of “Goncharov” isn’t an “American” thing, it’s an English thing. Signed, someone who didn’t grow up speaking American.

AYRT. It's not just a word though? It's a name. And it is expected to try and respect other people's names within a reason. I don't call John Ivan when I am speaking Russian if I don't want to be cute. Or dunno, Elias - Ilya. Even though Elais sounds really clunky in Russian.
