Romanization of Russian names and words must be in accordance with the recommendations of the 17th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, i.e. with the following rules:

а > a
б > b
в > v
г > g
д > d
e > e, ye1
ё > ë, yë2
ж > zh
з > z и > i
й > y
к > k
л > l
м >m
н > n
о > o
п > p
р > r
с > s
т > t
у > u
ф > f
х > kh
ц > ts
ч > ch
ш > sh
щ >shch
ъ > "3
ы > y
ь > '
э > e
ю > yu
я > ya

1 Ye initially or after a vowel or ъ or ь, otherwise e.
2 Yë initially or after a vowel or ъ or ь, otherwise ë (00EB in Unicode).
3 201D in Unicode.

If there exists a different tradition of romanizing a name of a certain Russian scholar, especially in works published outside Russia, an established variant is to be chosen. Examples: Подосинов А.В. > Podossinov A.V. (not Podosinov), Жмудь Л.Я. > Zhmud L.Ya. (not Zhmud'), Ростовцев М.И. > Rostovtzeff M.I. (not Rostovtsev). When describing translations of works by foreign authors into Russian, the author's name should be given as written in the original language, rather than in back-romanization. Examples: Bowra C.M., not Boura S.M.; Ernout A., not Ernu A.

Articles that do not comply to the present guidelines will be rejected.
