Sergei or Sergey

Sergey Prokopyev (cosmonaut)
Sergei Valeriyevich Prokopyev (Russian: Сергей Валерьевич Прокопьев, born 19 February 1975) is a Russian cosmonaut.

So his given name is SergeI, not SergeY? I understand this situation, but anyway it's confusing. We don't have to invent a unique way of spelling, but definitely need some description why they are different.

And we already have Sergey Prokopyev, listing Sergey Prokopyev (beach volleyball), while Prokofiev (disambiguation) suggests other "Sergei Prokofiev" (or "SergeY ProkofYev" or whatsoever), Sergei Prokofiev and Sergei O. Prokofieff. Anybody wants to sort out these articles?
