Hraban's suggestion works really well. I setup hyphenation rules for the underfull boxes of Russian names and reduced the \tolerance to 600.  I'm now down to about 20 underfull boxes which to my eyes look fine.

Thanks again Hraban

Best Wishes

    Hi Keith,
    since both cases are caused by names with accents, did you try to add
    hyphenation exceptions for those? Such cases are probably not
    covered by
    English hyphentation rules.
