What is the Russian transliteration of War and Peace?

The Russian transliteration of War and Peace is Voyna i mir.

The original Russian title is Война и мир, meaning “War and Peace.” In a standard Latin-alphabet transliteration, война becomes voyна, or “Voyna,” while мир becomes “mir.” The conjunction и is transliterated as “i,” producing Voyna i mir.

The title is often written in English simply as War and Peace because it has been translated rather than transliterated. Voyna i mir appears in discussions of the Russian novel, film adaptations, and other works based on Tolstoy’s book. Slightly different transliteration systems may affect details such as capitalization or the representation of Russian letters, but the form Voyna i mir is the conventional English-language rendering.

A common mistake is to write Voin i mir or Voina i mire. The first drops the final vowel in война, while the second incorrectly changes the ending of мир. Mir is also sometimes misunderstood because Russian мир can mean either “peace” or “world” in different historical and linguistic contexts; in Tolstoy’s title, the intended modern meaning is “peace.”
