Eric, although the old name is nice, the city changed name ca 1945. How old are you? Nobody who lives anywhere nearby uses the old name unless they are referring to historical times, or they are neo nazis. Are you trying to make some kind of point?Quote:

As far as I know, the name of that bolshevik doesn't make too much sense as a name for the city...Quote:
