I go by the Russian script for pronouncing the Russian names; it says on the '
Ekaterina' name page that you would pronounce this yeh-kat-er-ee-nah. The 'e' is definately not silent, and it is not eh-kat-er-ee-nah (if it was pronounced this way the 'e' at the beginning of the Russian script would be a backwards captial 'N' instead).
Hope this helps!
