How does capitalization work in Russian?

Question by Mike: How does capitalization work in Russian?
I’m just starting to learn Russian but I’m using Rosetta Stone so it doesn’t really teach me how capitalization works. Is it just like English?

You don’t capitalise nationalities and adjectives derived from place names, as well as toponymic nouns such as Londoner (лондонец) or Muscovite (москвич); of course you do capitalise the names themselves. You don’t Capitalise Every Word in a title, and you don’t capitalise the word for ‘I’ (which AFAIK is unique to English anyway). Otherwise, it’s pretty much the same. In anything printed during the Soviet era, you’d find God not capitalised, but since then Бог with a capital Б has been back with a vengeance.
