Subject: blast that vlast

Tovarishch,

I suspect you mean "Vlast'", which means power authority etc. Remember, in
Cyrillic alphabets the letter that looks like our "B" in fact represents
"V." I recommend keeping a copy of the ALA-LC Romanization Tables (isbn
0844409405) handy.

> We have a subscription to the weekly Russian journal
> Kommersant.  The entry for it :
> 130 0  Kommersant (Moscow, Russia : 1993)
> 245 00 Kommersant.
> Issues beginning with no.40-41 (Nov. 11 1997) and through
> no. 46 have Kommersant in small print above a word in much
> larger print that I think is romanized as Blast.  Is this a
> title change?  Does anyone know what this added word means?
> In my dictionary I found definitions: power, authority,
> rule.  Have been waiting to see if a new record appears on
> OCLC.
