In Russia, it's the 4th syllable that is stressed:
eh-kah-teh-REE-nah ___________________________________________'Do not be grieved for me, Starbrow,' she said. 'Nor too much ashamed of your own folk. Better a little doll, maybe, than no memory of Faery at all.'

That makes much more sense than the Bulgarian way. First, the stress in Katerina is on the "i" as well, and second, it's easier to pronounce.
