Abstract
The article considers the issues of using inverted commas when writing toponyms and numerous toponym- based names of museums, nature reserves, zakazniks, resorts, sanatoriums, hotels, boarding houses, and so on. Based on previous studies, the research determines the orthographic status of quotation marks at the lexical level. Additionally, the paper critically analyses the rules of using quotation marks provided in the new edition of the "Rules of Russian Spelling and Punctuation", as well as in various reference books and handbooks. The research identifies the main corpus of toponym-derived onyms which should be written with inverted commas.
