Regional Varieties
Russian Dialects and Variants We Cover
We match each assignment to the correct regional variety. Different dialects require different interpreters.
Standard Russian
The literary standard (Literaturnyi yazyk) used in media, government, law, and formal business across Russia and internationally. Required for all professional interpreting settings.
Technical Russian
The specialized register used in engineering, petroleum, nuclear, aerospace, and scientific documentation. Extensive Soviet-era technical vocabulary that is still in active use in energy and defense sectors.
Legal Russian
The formal register of Russian law, arbitration, and government proceedings. Important for international commercial arbitration, litigation involving Russian companies, and immigration proceedings for Russian-speaking clients.
CIS Russian
Russian as used as a lingua franca across Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, and other former Soviet states. Useful context for interpreting regional business meetings where Russian is not the national language but is the working language.
