Why spell the ancient city in this weird way? Why cater to its current white nationalist regime and their allied wester powers who are choking on Russophobia? There are no old word chronicles that pronounce the city this way, neither in the east nor in the west. Neither the Varangians nor the Rus had called their new capital like that. The native inhabitants of the steppe-forest lands *around* the capital---which is the literal transliteration of the name Ukraine (Okraina)--- and who speak various Russian dialects that are currently being molded into a new Ukrainian language (with a huge dose of Polish words in it) have never pronounced it like that either. Not even mentioning the traditional Russian dish, Chicken Kiev, served hot. Incongruous these new masters of language are indeed, all the way through. . . .
