"WP:RUS" redirects here. For the WikiProject on Russia, see Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Russia. For the naming conventions, see Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (Russia).
The following is a proposed Misplaced Pages policy, guideline, or process. The proposal may still be in development, under discussion, or in the process of gathering consensus for adoption.Shortcut

The Misplaced Pages romanization of Russian is a romanization of Russian names, used in English Misplaced Pages and suitable for Anglophones. It is a modification of the BGN/PCGN romanization of Russian.

Abbreviations

Abbreviations are usually romanized with capitalization as indicated, e.g., ДШК = DShK.

List of differences from BGN/PCGN
