In English
Rules for capitalizing Russian titles are simple and straight-forward:
- Capitalize first word of title, all other words in lower case, except for:
- Capitalize all words that should be capitalized by the rules of Russian grammar, i.e. proper nouns, titles, starts of sentences, etc.
Rationale
Words in Russian are generally much longer than English ones and sentences with longs words tend to look better when only the first word is capitalized. Capital letters at the beginning of each long word look unnatural and unconventional.
