Note on Russian Transliteration
In these pages, Russian characters are transliterated unambiguously
using the system described below. The system is used consistently for
the texts, but not for personal names - the more common North American
spellings are used instead (for example, Tchaikovsky, not
Chajkovskij).
Each Russian song text will
have a link to allow you to view it in Cyrillic (Unicode).
This is the transliterated Russian alphabet:
a b v g d
e(jo) zh z i j
k l m n o
p
r s t u
f kh c ch
sh shch " y '
`e ju ja
A `j' is sometimes added for clarity with the vowels. For example:
jeshchjo (rather than eshchjo) and mojikh (rather than moikh).
Note the letter c replaces the more common ts, producing
such words as serdce and car'.
