The GOST Romanized Russian Synod Bible (RUSSGOS)

Overview

This is the public-domain Russian Synodal Bible transliterated into Latin script using the GOST (Gosudarstvennyy standart) romanization system. The underlying text is the Russian Synodal translation, originally published in 1876 after a translation effort spanning 1813 to 1875 under the direction of the Russian Holy Synod. [1] The GOST romanization standard (GOST 7.79-2000) is the official transliteration system of Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, providing a standardized method for converting Cyrillic characters to Latin equivalents. [2] This 2020 Latin-script edition makes the Synodal Bible accessible to readers and printers in contexts where Cyrillic input or display is unavailable, and it differs from the ISO 9 romanized edition (RUSSISO) in its specific character mappings.
