Question of stress

[Richard Robin]

*Благове́щенск. *I can share a trick on finding out the stress on almost
any word that's not in a reference work. Use Эхо Москвы (www.echo.msk.ru)
as an audio corpus. Do a search for the needed term in "эфиры." Find the
word in print. Then locate the matching audio. Point the indicator on the
audio slide to approximately where the word should be in the broadcast.
Then listen. Of course, there's always the danger of a non-standard stress.
But the hosts and guests of Echo are mostly speakers of the contemporary
literary language.
