The article must be accompanied by an abstract in Russian and English, which outlines the problem and reveals the main conclusions of the article. The abstract should be no more than 150 words long.

The abstract should be clearly structured and contain the following components (not necessarily all of them):

• Introduction

• Characteristics of the source base
• Conclusions

The text of the abstract should not repeat the text of the article itself or its title; it should not contain material or conclusions that are not found in the article itself.

Used to search for articles and define the subject area of the text. Keywords (up to 5–9) are necessary for indexing articles in bibliographic databases and on library websites, so they must correspond to generally accepted historical terms and concepts, subject catalog headings, leading Russian and foreign libraries, and the Scopus and Web of Science databases.

Keywords must be identical in English and Russian.

In the text, square brackets are placed at the footnote location and the author's surname and year of publication are indicated, followed by the page number(s), if necessary: [Kliere 2000, 349–350]. No punctuation mark is placed between the surname and the year.

If the article cites two works by the same author published in the same year, they are designated consecutively by letters of the alphabet in the list of references:

The references differ accordingly:
[Temkina 2008a, 34; Temkina 2008b, 87].

Reference in the text: [RGASPI, F. 6. Op. 7a. D. 10.]

A hard space is placed between F., Op., and D. and the number: CTRL+ALT+SPACE

At the end of the text, the bibliography should include the full abbreviation:

RGASPI – Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History. F. 6. Op. 7a. D. 10. Case name in brackets «», year and sheets.

Formatted according to the standard rules adopted in the Brussels Bible: abbreviated names of biblical books (without periods), chapter and verse numbers are separated by colons without spaces, chapter numbers are separated by semicolons (e.g., Gen 5:7; Ex 8:6–9; Num 8; 1 Kings 8:1–9:4).

Please note: between page numbers, chapters and verses, as well as between years and numbers, a short dash is used instead of a hyphen, for example: pp. 25–48, ch. 7–11, January 17–19, 1995–1997). If fonts not included in the standard Windows package are used in the text of the article, these fonts must be attached to the article as files with the .ttf extension.

Only automatic, page-by-page, numbered with Arabic numerals. The footnote number at the end of the sentence is placed before the period.

Footnote font: Times New Roman, size 10.

• When a person is mentioned for the first time, their first name and surname are separated by a hard space.
• When indicating a period, years are given only in numbers (the 1920s), not in words (the twenties).
• When specifying a specific year, use the abbreviation “year” or “years”: 1920, 1920–1922, centuries – with the abbreviation ‘century’ or “centuries” (in Roman numerals): 10th century, 16th–17th centuries.
• Abbreviations are allowed: etc., etc., etc., i.e., see; only the following are written in full: since, so-called.
• Percentages are indicated by the % symbol, not the word; the number and symbol are not separated by a space: 3%.

The list of references should be compiled in Russian. If there are references in foreign languages, they must be transliterated. First, publications in Russian are listed (in alphabetical order), then those in Latin script (in alphabetical order).

A copy of the “Literature” list in Latin alphabet, sorted alphabetically. Key differences from the Literature list:

• References include ONLY research and conceptual articles (actual scientific literature) published after 1917.
• Dictionaries, encyclopedias, reference books, anthologies, publications of historical, literary, folklore, and other texts, publications of expedition materials, and archival sources are NOT INCLUDED.

All non-English titles (Russian, Hebrew, Yiddish, etc.) are given in Latin transliteration with the English translation of the title in square brackets. When using literature in Hebrew, Yiddish, Greek, etc., the original language must be indicated in square brackets. For the sake of uniformity, it is preferable to use the original names of journals (or books). Translations are provided only for the titles of articles and books, but not for journals and other periodicals. Many article and book titles already have ready-made English translations. All major scientific journals currently provide English translations of article titles immediately upon publication. We recommend using the converter on the translit.ru website for transliteration. Procedure:

• At the top of the page, make sure that “Russian” and “LC” are selected.
• In the input window, enter the text that needs to be transliterated.
• Click on “Transliterate” above the input window to transliterate the entered text.

After transliteration, you need to correct typical errors:

• References to “Tom” in the publication must be translated into English as “Vol.” (“Кн.” – “Bk.”, “Ч.” – “Pt.”)
• All city abbreviations must be expanded: M. to Moscow; SPb. to St. Petersburg; L. to Leningrad; N.Y. to New York; etc.
• All other abbreviations must be expanded (“izd-vo” to “izdatel'stvo”; etc.).
• In references, centuries are written using Arabic numerals.
• The names of foreign authors should not be transliterated, but should be given in the original. If you cite any works in their Russian translation, the automatic transliterator will convert the surname Marx to Marks (it must be corrected to Marx); Moss to Moss (it must be corrected to Mauss); Levi-Strauss to Levi-Stros (it must be corrected to Lévi-Strauss), etc.
• The Russian letters Я and Ю at the beginning of a word should preferably be transliterated as Ya and Yu (as opposed to Ia and Iu, which are automatically generated by the transliterator); i.e., it is preferable to write Yurii Yakovlev (rather than Iurii Iakovlev).
• Only the names of journals (or other scientific periodicals), books, and collections of articles are italicized in the Latinized list.
• Quotation marks – only angle brackets “”

English translations should accompany not only Latinized Russian-language titles of articles and books, but also all other non-English titles (i.e., German, French, etc.). Translations accompany only the titles of articles and books, but not journals and other periodicals. For many titles of articles and books, English translations are already available. All major scientific journals currently provide English translations of article titles immediately upon publication. For the sake of uniformity, it is preferable to use the journals' (or books') own translations.

The main punctuation mark in References is a comma. A period is placed after the title of the article. The pages of a monograph and the pages in an article are indicated simply by numbers without the symbols P., pp., S., etc.

Examples

If the publication has a DOI code, it should be indicated.

When mentioning persons recognized as foreign agents in the Russian Federation in the text or footnotes, the following footnote must be included:

THE MENTION HEREIN AND HEREAFTER OF IVANOV IVAN IVANOVICH RELATES TO THE ACTIVITIES OF A PERSON RECOGNIZED AS A FOREIGN AGENT IN THE TERRITORY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
