References in the main text
The primary reference in the text consists of an author and the year of publication in parenthesis with no punctuation between them: (Ivanov 1990), (Kerner 1942). For works by two authors, use both authors' names: (Masliuzhenko, Riabinina 2011). For works of multiple authorship, the reference is made only to the first author followed by “et al.”: (Kirpichnikov et al. 1986). When the author’s name is incorporated in the sentence, the reference in parenthesis should only contain the year of publication: “According to L. Margelis (1983)… .” When several works by the same author are cited, a relevant letter should be added to the year of publication: (Vasil'ev 1980a; 1980b). When reference is made to a particular page, the page number should be given after the year and separated with a colon: (Bakhrushin 1955: 91-93). When referencing several works of the same author in parentheses, the years of publication should be given after the name of the author separated by a semicolon: (Bernstam 1980; 1983). In the case of referencing works by several authors, the names of the authors should be divided by a semicolon: (Lebedev 2005; Maximov 1987: 259). References to collective works should contain the first few words of the title with an ellipsis: (Ambassadorial Book... 1984). References to multi-volume publications should indicate of the volume after the year: (Ivanov 1980, V. 2: 351).

References
List of references repeats Works cited with one crucial difference: titles and names written in non-Latin scripts should be transliterated, and titles should be translated into English. Lists of references are used by international academic databases, such as Scopus and Web of Science, for their citation indexes.
Transliteration should follow the USA Library of Congress system (in the “no diacritics” version). For transliteration from Cyrillic use:
https://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/romanization/russian.pdf
You can also use an automatic conversion tool available on Convert Cyrillic website: https://convertcyrillic.com/#/. In the right-hand panel (Convert to), select the second option: ALA-LC (Library of Congress) Romanization without Diacritics [Russkii iazyk]. There are typical automatic conversion mistakes, which should be corrected. a) References to the publication’s “том” (volume) should be translated into English as “Vol.”; Russian “Кн.” (book) – as “Bk.”; Russian “Ч.” (part) – as “Pt.”. b) All abbreviations of city names should be converted into a full form: Russian M. - Moscow; Russian СПб. – St.-Petersburg; Russian Л. – Leningrad; N.Y. – New York; etc. c) All other abbreviations should be converted into complete form (for example, “izd-vo” – into “izdatel’stvo”). d) Please check centuries numbering conversion to avoid mistakes ((XX - 20, XIX – 19, etc.). If you typed a number using the Russian letters “Х” the conversion tool would automatically transliterate them as “Kh” (“KhKh” instead of the 20th century and “KhIKh” instead of the 19th century, etc.). e) Names of the foreign authors should not be converted from Russian but provided in the original form. In case of citing any works based on their Russian translation, automatic conversion tool may offer Marks instead of the original Marx; Moss instead of Mauss; Levi-Stros instead of Lévi-Strauss, etc.f ) Russian letters Я and Ю at the beginning of words should be transliterated as Ya and Yu (as opposed to Ia and Iu offered by automatic conversion tool). For example, the recommended spelling version is Yurii Yakovlev and not Iurii Iakovlev. g) Italics should be used for the names of journals or other academic periodicals, titles of books, and collections of articles.
