the coincise style is preferable

if there's an abbriviation which you feel is necessary to be represented in the text of the translation, you would rather give the complete Russian Language translation, then, in the brackets- the English Abbriviation with the full English equivalent; if there's a widely accepted Russian abbriviation, it should be given as a preferable variant of the equivalent - all the rest in the brackets.
