{{Main|Romanization of Russian}}

There is no single universally accepted system of writing [[Russian language|Russian]] using the Latin script—in fact there are a huge number of such systems: some are adjusted for a particular target language (e.g. German or French), some are designed as a librarian's transliteration, some are prescribed for Russian travellers' passports; the transcription of some names is purely traditional. All this has resulted in great reduplication of names. E.g. the name of the Russian composer [[Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky|Tchaikovsky]] may also be written as ''Tchaykovsky'', ''Tchajkovskij'', ''Tchaikowski'', ''Tschaikowski'', ''Czajkowski'', ''Čajkovskij'', ''Čajkovski'', ''Chajkovskij'', ''Çaykovski'', ''Chaykovsky'', ''Chaykovskiy'', ''Chaikovski'', ''Tshaikovski'', ''Tšaikovski'', ''Tsjajkovskij'' etc. Systems include:

* [[GOST 16876-71]] (1971): A now defunct Soviet transliteration standard. Replaced by GOST 7.79, which is an [[ISO 9]] equivalent.
* [[United Nations]] romanization system for geographical names (1987): Based on [[GOST 16876-71]].
* [[ISO 9]] (1995): Transliteration. From the [[International Organization for Standardization]].

* "Volapuk" encoding (1990s): Slang term (it is not really [[Volapük]]) for a writing method that is not truly a transliteration, but used for similar goals (see article).
* Conventional English transliteration is based to BGN/PCGN, but does not follow a particular standard. Described in detail at [[Romanization of Russian]].
