Monument to Letter "Yo"

[J.Dunn at SLAVONIC.ARTS.GLA.AC.UK]

For anyone who wishes to read more about the 'monument to yo' there is an
article in a new Internet publication called 'Ezhenedel'nyj zhurnal':

http://www.ej.ru/00-/art/fest/index.html

Not suitable for first-year students, but if anyone has a group of
final-year students on whom he or she wishes to extract a terrible revenge,
it would make an interesting translation exercise.
