endonym/exonym-use in russian road-maps

[Karen Schmiady]

Dear SEELANGers,

 

I'm an undergraduate student doing research on conversion of German 
geographic names into Russian script. For my thesis I need to find out 
how foreign geographic names are represented in Russian road maps. 
Whether most road maps use Russian exonyms for foreign places or rather 
the original endonymic names in Latin script.

I'm writing my diploma thesis in Germany, so I can hardly have a look at 
the next bookshop to find out which approach is the most common.

 

If anyone of you, who has a ????? ????????? ?????? or something similar 
at hand could scan me just one page that shows roads and places in 
Europe and add the bibliographic data of the road atlas used I would be 
deeply grateful.  (You can reach me off-list under _karen.schmiady at gmx.de_)

 

Any other ideas where I could find the data in need would be appreciated 
as well.

 

Many thanks

 

Karen Schmiady
