    This document summarizes how abbreviations are pronounced and declined in Russian. It states that abbreviations are pronounced by saying the names of each letter, with stress on the last letter. Abbreviations are indeclinable nouns that are masculine if the last letter is a consonant, or take the gender of the full expression if the last letter is a vowel. It provides the example of the abbreviation for the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, ВКП, which is feminine because the full expression "партя" is feminine.

    §8. ABBREVIATED NOUNS

    Abbreviations, such as СССР (for Союз Советских Социалистических Республик "Union of Soviet
    Socialist Republics") are pronounced by the names of the letters, with stress on the last: [es-es-es-er],
    and are indeclinable nouns. They are M when the name of the last letter ends in a consonant; when the
    name of the last letter ends in a vowel they have the gender of the noun in the full expression: for
    instance, ВКП [ve-ka-pe], for Всесоюзная Коммунистическая Партя "All-Russian Communist Party,"
    feminine because партя is feminine.
