Apparently you write до7.  Russian uses the Latin system like Romance 
languages, with some modifications, and spelled with Cyrillic.

It looks like "especially in popular music and jazz" pretty nearly 
everybody can translate from the American system into their own, and I 
have not been able to find an example of a score that had chords notated 
any other way, unless it was something radically different and archaic 
or arcane.

Anyway, I'm going to settle the question by asking foreign guitarists 
what they think.
