	The ~~following system of~~ romanization of Russian ~~from~~ ~~the~~ ~~Cyrillic~~ to the ~~Latin~~ ~~alphabet~~ is ~~currently~~ ~~endorsed~~ by the ].		The '''Misplaced Pages romanization of Russian''' is a modification of the ]. It is used in the English Misplaced Pages per ] as suitable for Anglophones.

			Abbreviations are romanized with capitalization as indicated, e.g., ДШК = ], unless there is a common English rendering.
	==Use conventional names==
	When possible, use a conventional English name (as defined below) instead of the ].

			==Differences from the BGN/PCGN romanization==
	===Place names===
	A '''conventional name of a place''' is the name listed in major English dictionaries and should be preferred over default romanization at all times. In particular, if major English dictionaries do not list the place, then default romanization should be used.
	;Clarifications
	#If a dictionary lists several variants of the name, use the main one.
	#:''Example'': use "Moscow", not "Moskva"
	#If different dictionaries list different main variants, use the one that's closest to the default romanization guidelines.
	#:''Example'': suppose one dictionary lists the city of {{lang\|ru\|Тольятти}} under "Tolyatti" and another one—under "Togliatti". "Tolyatti" should be used as it is the variant produced by the default guidelines.
	#The variant produced using the default romanization must be mentioned in the lead in parentheses after listing the Russian name.
	#:''Example'': '''Moscow''' ({{lang-ru\|Москва}}, ''Moskva'')...
	#The variant produced using the default romanization must be a redirect to the main article.
	#:''Example'': ] redirects to ].
	#If such a redirect cannot be set up due to a collision of meanings, a disambiguation page entry should be created instead, pursuant to the ].
	#:''Example'': ] cannot be a redirect to ], but a link to "Moscow" is available at the "Moskva" disambiguation page.
	#Titles of disambiguation and name pages are always romanized using the default romanization.
	#:''Example'': the disambiguation page listing all the meanings of "{{lang\|ru\|Байкал}}" is to be located at ], despite the fact that the most common English spelling of the primary meaning of the word (a lake in Russia) is "]".
	#Names of places located in Russia must be romanized from Russian. If a place has a name in another official language, it is mentioned in the lead.
	#:''Example'': the name of the city of {{lang\|ru\|Чебоксары}} is romanized "Cheboksary". The Chuvash name "Shupashkar" is mentioned in the lead, but cannot be used as the main title.
	#:''Rationale'': spelling of names of Russian places used in English sources is normally derived from the name in Russian, as local languages are rarely employed in international communications.

			* Consonant letters: б в г д ж з к л м н п р с т ф х ц ч ш щ
	===People===
			* Vowel letters: а е ё и о у ы э ю я
	A '''person's conventional name''' is defined by the criteria outlined below. When spelling is selected based on one of these criteria, it must be documented on the article's talk page or be readily apparent from the sources used in the article. In absence of ] documentation, romanization produced by the default guideline must be used.
			** Iotated vowel letters: е ё ю я
	#If the person is an author of works published in English, the spelling of the name used in such publications should be used. When multiple spellings are used and no single spelling clearly predominates, use the one closest to the default romanization guidelines.
			* Semivowel letter: й
	#If the person's preference of spelling of his/her name in English is known and can be documented, that spelling should be used.
			* Modifier letters: ь ъ
	#If the person is the subject of English-language publications, the spelling predominantly used in such publications should be used. A preference is given to publications in the area in which the person specializes. When no single spelling predominates, use the one closest to the default romanization guidelines.
	#:''Example'': the article on figure skater {{lang\|ru\|Александр Геннадиевич Зайцев}} is located at ] (not "Zaytsev"), because "Zaitsev" is the English spelling used by the International Skating Union, Figure Skating Federation of Russia, and in other publications about the person (]).
	#Selecting the most frequently used variant based on a ] is not acceptable.
	#When in doubt, use the default romanization guidelines.
	#The default romanization variant must be mentioned in the lead in parentheses after listing the Russian name.
	#:''Example'': '''Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev''' ({{lang-ru\|Михаил Сергеевич Горбачёв}}, ''Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachyov'')...
	#The default romanization variant must be a redirect to the main article.
	#:''Example'': ] redirects to ].
	#If such a redirect cannot be set up due to a collision of meanings, a disambiguation or name page entry should be created instead, pursuant to the ].
	#Titles of disambiguation and name pages are always romanized using the default romanization.
	#:''Example'': the name page listing people with the last name of "{{lang\|ru\|Зайцев}}" is to be located at ], despite the fact that names of some people listed on the page are romanized differently (e.g., ]).
	#:''Rationale'': simplification of maintenance of disambiguation and name pages; consistency.

	*It is important to remember that only the spelling of names used in the English-language sources should be considered. If a Russian person is widely known, for example, in France but virtually unknown in the English-speaking world, the title of the article about him/her should be romanized using the default romanization; French spelling should not be used.
			! Russian<br />spelling
	**French spelling can, however, be used if the person became a citizen of France and that spelling matches the person's official name.
			! English Misplaced Pages<br />romanization
	*Same condition applies to the personal choice of spelling—it should only be used when the person in question has a clear and documentable preference for the ''English'' spelling of his/her name.
			! Special provision
	*In absence of documentation supporting one of the criteria of conventionality, articles can be moved to the spelling produced using the default romanization guidelines. Editors performing such moves are encouraged to leave a notice on the articles' talk pages soliciting documentation/sources and allowing a reasonable amount of time to get a response.

This is an essay.
It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Misplaced Pages contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Misplaced Pages's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints.

The Misplaced Pages romanization of Russian is a modification of the BGN/PCGN romanization of Russian. It is used in the English Misplaced Pages per Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (Russia) as suitable for Anglophones.

Abbreviations are romanized with capitalization as indicated, e.g., ДШК = DShK, unless there is a common English rendering.
