freedom of the press

[Yoshimasa Tsuji]

Just a reminder. I understand that in common usage of English,
the Soviet Union and Russia are not actually distinguished.
Who cares whether the Russian mafias are actually transcaucasians
or not. It is because Soviet Union was dominated by Russia or because
Soviet Union was just a communist name for Romanov's Russian
Empire. It is like saying the sun rises in the east, which may
not be correct in scientific terms, but that is the way people
say. If you wish to make a clear distinction, you should use
the term RSFSR or RF instead of "Russia".

Cheers,
Tsuji

Though USA has never conquered American continents totally,
people say, "Columbus discovered America"(as a matter of fact,
West Indies) and "Clinton is the president of America". People
are clever enough not to confuse USA and American continents.

The effort by the Russians to comfort non-Russians using the
term "Rossijskaja Imperija" was not appreciated by foreigners:
it was yet again "Russian Empire" when translated.
