Ranking method

Companies are sorted by revenue expressed in US dollars, where one $ equals 31,90 Russian roubles (average daily exchange rate for 2013). Revenues include core services, such as translation and interpreting and other services such as DTP, language training, voiceovers, selling translation software, linguistic testing, verification of translations by a notary and providing apostille.
In cases when revenues of several participants matched, the number of employees has been used to calculate rank.
The participants of the survey had been offered to disclose their revenues and back the data up by official documents. Those who declined had an option to specify a revenue range rather than a specific figure. Companies that disclosed a revenue range are ranked by its lower bracket, i.e. a $3 m company that specified a revenue range of $2 — 4 m was ranked as if it had $2 m in revenues.
