- aguaviva 2y agoExcept it's not. Chernobyl is just another popular spelling that people have gotten accustomed to. But no one outside the Russian Mir ever refers to Alaska as Aljáska. There's no signficance or import to the chosen spelling. This whole flame war is completely pointless.
- thih9 2y ago> Chernobyl is just another popular spelling that people have gotten accustomed to. Exactly. And “Chernóbil” isn’t - that’s my point. So the argument about “Chernóbil” is as pointless as “Aljiáska”.
