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.
