Kyiv (Kiev) Explanation: I don’t think a “rule” exists as such, but there seems to be a gradual shift from Kiev to Kyiv, with the former still very much alive. Many references I have seen use Kyiv followed by Kiev in parentheses, as in the following pages: http://www.brama.com/art/kiev.html http://pages.prodigy.net/euroscope/kyiv.html Fuad Reference: http://www.brama.com/art/kiev.html Reference: http://pages.prodigy.net/euroscope/kyiv.html |
