One will be based on Russian and another - based on Ukrainian. '''English traditional''' is how major websites (such as Wikipedia) transliterate Ukrainian place names. '''English ALA-LC''' is how the Library of Congress and the FamilySearch Catalog transliterate Ukrainian place names. Below is a table that will help you identify the right spelling of cities.<br>
