Kiev vs. Kyiv

Also, while I'm on the subject of names...<<Kyiv>> is the Ukrainian spelling of their capital city, and is also the version that has been officially adopted for many diplomatic and international purposes over the past few years. However, in Russian, the city is called <<Kiev>>. Since I'm technically studying Russian, not Ukrainian, and since I don't want to be using the two spelling interchangeably here on SMTC, I've decided to just stick with <<Kiev>> from here on out. Apologies to any staunch Ukrainian nationalists out there.
