Abstract

Disagrees with the suggestion of Sinclair and Topchy, q.v., that Soviet geographical names be anglicized in English-language publications. The policy of transliterating both generic and specific parts of Soviet names prevents international confusion and involves only minor differences in spelling. Sinclair and Topchy answer, p. 164-65.
