    "The correct spelling would be Abich, and this is a German surname. In Russian it is Абих, first syllable stressed. One of the most famous people named Abich is Otto Wilhelm Hermann von Abich (see wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Wilhelm_Hermann_von_Abich), a geologist. There are a lot of people with German surnames in Russia due to the fact that a lot of German-speaking scientists used to move to Russia starting from Peter the Great's times and a lot of German people stayed in Russia as prisoners of war after 1945." http://www.allexperts.com/user.cgi?m=6&catID=2985&expID=77485&qID=4871272
