Indexing Ukrainian letters in Russian batches
I posted this question under indexing as well. I hope that's ok.
Hi, I'm trying to index a batch from the Российская империя (Украина), Киевские исповедные ведомости collection. I keep running into the occasional usage of Ukrainian "i" in place of Russian "и". Do I default to Russian spellings or record what I see?
Thanks!

Hello,
the occasional i is most likely the pre-1917 Russian orthography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_alphabet#Letters_eliminated_in_1917%E2%80%9318
unless the entire document of at least the word is in Ukrainian. I'd say use i if the document is in Ukrainian and и if it's in Russian.
Best regards,
Igor.
