Buy Low Russia
Byelorussia. Pronounced BYE-lo-russia. And they let him have it.
Sigh. That "ye" means there's a y-glide. It's like "yell".
Okay, yes. I suppose you can argue it's like Naples vs Napoli, or Germany vs Deutschland. But we don't call it that any more. Byelorussia is a very outdated spelling of what's now Belarus.
