Great. Thanks. I've just got an answer from our legal department:
"The Company has a Charter in which the name in English is:
“BAIKAL ELECTRONICS, JSC.” Charter is the only thing you need to focus on
when specifying the name."

I also pointed out that it would be good to have the site updated if the
upper-cased name is required by the Charter. Hope it will be done soon.)
