peer agreement (net): +1(the) Samara Regional Administration Explanation: Jack will disagree, but region is better than oblast' in my book -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-21 21:32:48 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- particularly in a translation for general commercial consumption (and not a political/historical text), I think there is really no case for opting for transliteration. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-21 21:39:08 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Province vs Region. I guess it\'s a matter of preference, but I would be pretty certain that Region is used nowadays much more often. You could do a quick check easily enough on Google -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-21 21:41:41 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- To Sergei C: Dear chap, I don\'t give a flying horseradish about whether my answer is \'better\' or not, I was just trying to explain to you why your answer is wrong. It\'s okay, the truth is often painful I know, I\'ve been there often enough myself ;-). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-21 21:55:48 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- note to all the other answerers (excluding Jack): why on earth not... i made a comment and backed it up with reasoning. if it is deemed to be illegitimate or off the mark, i will be ignored. i often post agrees when another answerer posts an alternative to my version... but only if i think it\'s right. if someone posts an answer that i think is better than mine, i\'ll say so... just so happens not in this case! tell you what, if i get the points, i\'ll wrap them up with a bow and send them to you - what\'s your address? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-21 22:19:26 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Appointed/named as official suppliers to the Samara Regional Administration and the adminstrations of various other Russian cities. Inache, prichem zdes administratsiya, i ne prosto, Samarskoi oblasti i raznym gorodam. Vidimo oni ochen gordyatsya tem shto ikh gadost\' pyut vsyakie gubernatori i vysokopostavlennie chinovniki v glubinke ;-) molodtsi voobshe. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-22 00:12:29 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- They even call themselves: Samara Region Adminstration: www.adm.samara.ru/en/ ok - they use region not regional, but I think both are fine myself |
