Transcriptions of individual words are given after them in Russian in parentheses.In my opinion, the method of conveying in Russian letters the sound of letters and letter combinations of geographical names, of course, is not ideal and carries a number of significant inaccuracies in pronunciation, but it is more convenient than classical transcription.

In order to find the geographical name you need, for now we use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F(type in the desired name in the search bar that appears (usually at the top right) and press Enter). A more convenient search method will appear a little later.
