[aaus-list] Kyiv and the game board MONOPOLY

[Vadim]

Why not hear my logical arguments before using such strong words as
"denigrate" in this context? You seem to have a very heavy prejudice
against me.

My logical argument is that Gdynia, with population of 252,443 in 2006
-- according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gdynia

is far from being a major city to be considered for the "international
edition" of this game. This fact undermines any scientific or
statistical credibility of their selection of cities and essentially
means nothing useful for Ukraine or Ukrainian studies. Maybe just some
sweet PR and self-flattery at the risk of complacency and self-deceit.
Ukraine, and specifically Kyiv, can do better. If this argument sounds
logical to you, it can be used to launch a heavy negative personal
attack on you -- would that be a right thing to do?
