GOST Originally developed by Soviet Union as part of its

national standardization strategy. GOST is an acronym of

gosudarstvennyy standart (Russian: государственный стандарт)

Simply, it means “State Standard”.

Now, GOST becomes Regional Standards developed by EASC and GOST R is the national standard of Russian Federation.So, Guess you see the differentiation between GOST & GOST R.
