the good old days, and that pesky letter "shee" (formerly "shch")

[Alexandra Smith]

I totally agree with Alina's comment. A good example of the Moscow  
version is Marietta Chudakova's recent paper on Akhmatova presented  
during the seminar on Akhmatova on 23.06.09.  She uses several words  
with SHCH:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD6B4YYtTi0
The Leningrad/St Petersburg version is well exemplified by Alisa  
Freindlikh's rendering of Tsvetaeva's poem "Vy, idushchie mimo  
menia...":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToWSdu2RUss&feature=PlayList&p=2297F7E54DD77E9C&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=1
