{{short description|Cyrillic transliteration standard}}
'''GOST 7.79-2000''' (Система стандартов по информации, библиотечному и издательскому делу. Правила транслитерации кирилловского письма латинским алфавитом) is a standard for transliteration from Cyrillic to Latin script for use on the internet, for speakers of languages that are normally written in Cyrillic script but who do not have access to a Cyrillic keyboard. It came into effect 2002-07-01.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gostexpert.ru/gost/gost-7.79-2000|title=ГОСТ 7.79-2000, скачать ГОСТ 7.79-2000|website=gostexpert.ru}}</ref> 

GOST 7.79-2000 contains two transliteration tables.

; System A: one Cyrillic character to one Latin character, some with diacritics – identical to ISO 9:1995
; System B: one Cyrillic character to one or many Latin characters without combining diacritics. Letters are distinguished with a spacing diacritic, which for online use is the ASCII grave accent (i.e., `) but when used on Moscow street signs may instead be the traditional prime (i.e., {{softsign}}), depending on who printed the sign.
<!-- Can anyone confirm this is in the most recent GOST standard? It is definitely not in ISO 9:1995!-->

This standard (System B) appears to have been used in 2014 for the transliteration of street names on street signs in Moscow; its unusual appearance and non-intuitive sound values gave rise to criticism in the media.<ref>[http://www.ridus.ru/news/169912 Москва готовится к оккупации, иначе происходящее не объяснить] ("Moscow is preparing for occupation - otherwise one can't explain what goes on")</ref>
