Pronounced i-NYEHS-sə in Russian (I don't know how to type the superscript Y).

No, it isn't pronounced i-NYEHS-sə. It's i-NEHS-sə. Some foreign names (they have been adopted usually for a relatively short time, and haven't been fully adopted as "Russian" compared to traditional names) do not follow the "soft consonant" pattern in Russian, and Inessa is one of them.See the entry for Инесса on Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%98%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B0
