Russian spelling alphabet

Common card · No. 456036

The Russian spelling alphabet is a spelling alphabet (or "phonetic alphabet") for Russian, i.e. a set of names given to the alphabet letters for the purpose of unambiguous verbal spelling. It is used primarily by the Russian army, navy and the police. The large majority of the identifiers are common individual first names, with a handful of ordinary nouns and grammatical identifiers also. A good portion of the letters also have an accepted alternative name. This Alphabet was also standardized by all Soviet Warsaw Pact members and was also used by domestic maritime traffic, emergency services, civilian domestic aviation and the Soviet airforce.
