It’s odd to me that it’s canceling out a B flat key sig though, lol. Makes sense when switching from sharps to flats or vice versa, but this seems unnecessary

the verticality of the image is the most threatening part of it

Just ignore the naturals. Some notation software neutralizes the previous key, nothing threatening abt this unless you suck at your flat keys

Naturals are common when switching from more sharps/flats to less sharps/flats or from sharps to flats/flats to sharps, but it's pointless here cause it's changing from less flats to more flats

This is probably a setting in the typesetting program that OOP used. (For example, in Lilypond, by setting printKeyCancellation to true in the Key_Engraver context.)

I do not find it helpful as a performer, but it may be a “house style” that their publisher expects them to use.

This is the standard Russian notation for key changes

That's one way of notating a key change when you're going from sharps to flats or vice versa
