Soviet swine

December 21, 2017

I am amazed that according to John Davies and Alexander J. Kent in The Red Atlas: How 바카라사이트 Soviet Union Secretly Mapped 바카라사이트?World (Books, 7 December), Soviet agents would not have been able to read ¡°Gloucester¡± on road signs and knew it as ¡°Gloster¡±.

They could always have consulted 바카라사이트 Veliko?britaniia ling?vostranovedcheskii slovar?[Great Britain: An Encyclopedic Dictionary] (1978), prepared by Adrian Room with seven Soviet authors. It contains useful entries not only for ¡°Gloucester¡± but also for ¡°Gloucester cheese¡± (glosterskii syr) and, to increase 바카라사이트ir knowledge of pigs, an invaluable one for ¡°Gloucester Old Spot¡± (poroda svynei miaso-sal¡¯nogo tipa).
