I understand your reason not to doubt since these are official documents probably translated by someone familiar with both languages. However, the Cyrillic character that looks like a B is transliterated to the Roman script V. The Cyrillic character similar to b is transliterated as Roman script B. It is therefore easy enough to make a mistake if you are not careful in how you read the text. I have seen, for example, where official maps confuse the spelling between Barbarowka and Warwarowka. It would therefore seem plausible that your Novorovka could be Neborovka.

Certainly we can not guarantee this is correct but since it appears that there is no such known place as Novorovka, you should give it serious consideration.
