It is a valid correction.

Even if Latin characters are used to write his name, they should give a close phonetic representation and Wikipedia is a good reference.

What is more, below the text the author uses the spelling "Dmitri" as well to refer to the same person. So we have a mix of spellings within the same chapter.
