The Russian Morse code approximates the Morse code for the Latin alphabet. It was enacted by the Russian government in 1856. ^{[1] [2]}

To memorize the codes, practitioners use mnemonics known as напевы (loosely translated "melodies" or "chants"). The "melody" corresponding to a character is a sung phrase: syllables containing the vowels а, о, and ы correspond to dashes and are sung long, while syllables containing other vowels, as well the syllable а й, correspond to dots and are sung short. The specific "melodies" employed differ among various schools.^{[ citation needed]}

The correspondences between Cyrillic and Latin letters were codified in MTK-2, KOI-7, and KOI-8.^{[ citation needed]}
