The NYT is generally full of beans. The entire Western media seems to be just making stuff up. It's quite funny to watch. I'm no expert. I read a travel book, spent a month there, and retain pals who live there. Apparently, that makes me vastly more qualified to comment on the place than 99.9% of the establishment media dopes. Really, anybody with google should be able to figure it out.

Ironic in view of the situation today, Vasiliy Aksyonov wrote a novel "The Island of Crimea" about an independent Crimean state that remained a White (anti-bolshevik) enclave after the Russian Civil War and never joined the Soviet Union---but which is now being invaded by the Soviet Union.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-87137269098229013582014-03-01T11:46:48.113-08:002014-03-01T11:46:48.113-08:00… (Gorbachov, Khruschov, Aksyonov) the stress fall...<i>… (Gorbachov, Khruschov, Aksyonov) the stress falls on the aw sound.</i> --анонимный<br /><br />But to Western ears, that sounds ëful.Reg Cæsarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-49294323765855415742014-03-01T11:19:34.898-08:002014-03-01T11:19:34.898-08:00Ironically the Kaisers emblem was double eagles.

Seeing an "o" follow K, Ch, Shch violates the genitive declension that forms Russian surnames (the "ov" or "ev" implies "of the") and seems dissonant.

The correct transliteration of that surname is Aksyonov. The original in both cases is Аксёнов. The Russian letter ё is pronounced as an o (i.e. aw). It does other things besides that, but explaining them would unnecessarily complicate things. E without the dots is pronounced as an e (like the e in the English word let). Confusingly, Russians usually omit the dots of the ё. Every native speaker knows which pronunciation (e or o) is meant in which word anyway. The dropping of the dots only confuses foreigners. The ones who first transliterated Gorbachov's name as Gorbachev were confused by the lack of dots over the e in his name. They do belong there, but are usually omitted. Same with Khruschov's name. And with Aksyonovs'. There's no e (as in met, get) sound in any of those names. It's an o (like the aw in law) sound in every one of them. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
