Does anybody know, what nominal power of a russian engine mean?

as a rule, nominal power of any piston engine is a power which
may be used for long-timed climb, some aircraft with small take-off weight (for example without cargo), equipped with
the piston engine can normally take off using nominal power. This characteristic is important as well as WEP.
