Note on Russian transliteration

One of the problems of republishing Russian-language memoirs lies in Cyrillic transliteration. Many differing systems have been used over the years, some relying on character-by-character methods and others more on pronunciation. For example, Cyrillic E is sometimes rendered as e and sometimes as ye.

Voices of Snipers uses a character-based system derived from British Standard 2979:1958, but the appended Rozas Diary retains the spellings of the original translation. This explains the occasional inconsistency in names such as Aleksandra Yekimova, Ekimova on the standardised scheme.
