Russian Cyrillic Question

[Raskolnikov]

Hello, can anyone explain what the marks are above some of the letters, like the А, Е, О, etc. mean?

Here is an example:



I have a Russian keyboard, but how do I type those marks?

Thank you.

Yes, those marks are intended only for foreign learners. Russians never use them, so you don't have to type them (and I don't know how to type them anyway...)
