The standard pronunciation of Latin by English speakers doesn't follow English pronunciation rules. I added a link. Italian pronunciation was a possible standard, since it is generally used by the Catholic Church. But that doesn't seem likely to spread in Russia.
Italian pronunciation rules are different from those of Classical Latin. Even Ecclesiastical Latin sounds different from Classical Latin, and closer to the modern Italian norm. My school priest pronounced Humanae Vitae as "oo-man-eh bee-teh," whereas in ancient times it would have been "hoo-man-eye wee-tye."
