Out of the frying-pan...

[Alina Israeli]

I think it's the case of Moscow vs. Leningrad.

4-volume 1984 dictionary (Leningrad) gives two stress (never mind that 
is says Moscow on the first page, Evgen'eva lived in Leningrad, and MAC 
is a reduced BAC, 17-vol, with some corrections and editions of course), 
BTS — one stress on the first syllable.

Ozhegov (Moscow) gives a final stress, so does Zaliznjak 2008, 
mentioning that the first syllable stress is obsolete.

My 1961 and 1972 editions of Ozhegov offer only final stress; Zaliznjak's Grammaticheskij slovar' (1977), the 1985 Orfoepicheskij slovar' and my 1992 edition of Ozhegov and Shvedova all give first syllable stress as obsolescent; the Russkij orfograficheskij slovar' of 2005 (which I think is one of gramota.ru's sources) gives both stresses without comment; the Bol'shoj tolkovyj slovar' of 1998/2004 allows only first syllable stress.
