Lubitz' TrotskyanaNet - Transliteration List

Transliteration of Cyrillic characters

On the pages of TrotskyanaNet a considerable number of names and terms from the Russian language (and of course from other languages using Cyrillic characters) occur which have to be transliterated into Latin characters. With regard to transliteration please note the following:

In our original texts the name Троцкий is always given as Trotsky (instead of Trotskii, Trockij etc.),
In all other cases names and terms are transliterated according to the second column of the transliteration table provided here as PDF file. This applies, too, to bibliographical listings containing in our site.
However, when quoting from other texts, deviations from the just-mentioned rules may occur.
In our bibliographies published earlier as printed books and provided on our site as PDF files, we used another transliteration, however, namely ISO-Recommendation R9 (which is almost identical with DIN 1460); see third column of our transliteration table. As an exception from the general rule, in our bibliographies the name Троцкий has been given as Trotsky when occuring in the prefaces or introductions as well as in annotations.
