There's some other funky shizizel going on there too; check out "чаядон?" -- it looks like it has an audio/speaker icon following it (I know; that makes no sense, but that's what it looks like to me) and then the украинец appears to be accented there as well? I guess you can chalk it up to the fact that this was still a fairly turbulent time and resources were somewhat lacking -- in addition to the printing errors you find anywhere, anytime.

And lastly, what the heck is "что-й-то?"
I thought that, because in Belarusian and Ukrainian they use an apostrophe instead of a Ъ.
