Epic fail

Also Tester I don't know what Google-fu you're using, but it's shit. You have spelled Kiev wrong, ..The Russian speaker in the bed next to me says tht not only does yi not exist in English, but nor does it exist in Russian cyrillic or Ukranian cyrillic. I think what you meant was ye.

Good spot, if I'd actually used google I'd have got it right :-) Not the first time I've written і when I should have written и

However, yi (ї) in Ukrainian is not the same as ye (e/є) in Russian/Ukrainian, and for that reason Russian pronunciation of Киев is not the same as Ukrainian pronunciation of Київ
