When transliterating languages with non-Roman alphabets (an exception is made for longer, block quotations), please consult the Library of Congress transliteration tables based on the language you are transliterating:
See the full list of transliteration tables for all other languages.
Anglicized words such as "ruble," "kopek," "kolkhoz," "glasnost" should be used except in linguistic or directly quote Cyrillic text, in which chase the words should be transliterated according to the tables above.
Please see the section on Russian names.
