I am sorry. But Kiev is a perfectly correct spelling (in English). I could
not put Kiev in English because there is not letter "i" with two dots on top
(like "umlaut") in my Outlook Express program.

Yes, and Lviv's people were nice to me. I fell in love with the university,
with its high standards, traditions and splendor: this is probably the only
university in the F.S.U. where people address each other as "Professor
Zadorozhny" or "Docent Bujnicka".
This was great. Besides, I found that so many people had actually READ my
dissertation, which would have been quite unusual in Moscow or Minsk

Yes, maybe. Lviv was too good to be true.

However, removing "the" from "Ukraine" is funny. This reminds me of the wild
protests of US feminist students who demanded "equal representation of
cadavers in the Anatomy class" (there were more male cadavers at that
medical college).

When it is funny, it is funny.
