GOST 16876-71
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GOST 16876-71 (Russian: ГОСТ) is a romanization system (for transliteration of Cyrillic texts into the Latin alphabet) devised by the National Administration for Geodesy and Cartography of the Soviet Union. Based on the scientific transliteration system used in linguistics, GOST 16876-71 is the only common transliteration system that refrains from using diacritics.
In 1978 COMECON adopted GOST 16876-71 as its official transliteration standard, GOST ST SEV 1362-78.
GOST 16876-71 was used by the United Nations to develop its romanization system for geographical names, which was adopted for official use by the United Nations at the Fifth United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names in Montréal, Canada, in 1987. However, unlike its parent standard, the UN system relies on diacritics to compensate for non-Russian Cyrillic alphabets.
In 2002, the Russian Federation along with a number of CIS countries abandoned the use of GOST 16876 in favor of ISO 9:1995, which was adopted as GOST 7.79-2000.

The last four letters are found in texts from before the orthographic reform of 1918. For contemporary letters the only differences between the UN-approved system, the scholarly system, and ISO/R 9:1968 are the transliterations of х (h / x / ch) and э (è / è / ė).
