About this scheme

Russian transliteration is the practice of writing Cyrillic text with Latin letters. Many romanization systems exist — ISO 9, ALA-LC, BGN/PCGN, GOST — and they disagree on details like how to represent Ж (zh? ž?) or Щ (shch? ŝ?). GOST 7.79 System B is the most widely used today: it uses only ASCII letters (no diacritics), which makes it safe for URLs, domain names, and systems that can't handle accented characters.
