No chucks here, Alex
This one's for Deborah.
Alex just put a spin on Leonid Kuchma and Leonid Kravchuk - the wrong spin. He got through Leonid (lay-oh-NEED) and Kuchma (KOOCHma), but he foundered on KRAHV-chuck. No no no, Alex. It's kraw-CHUKE (or, if you're Russian or East Ukrainian, as - to be fair - Kravchuk was, krahv-CHUKE). Not chuck. Chuke.
I shouldn't pick on him, but he asks for it, the way he exaggerates his French (RRRAM-bo for Rimbaud).
