#Solitaire2020 takes me on a Tour of #Russia (select #Russian Cities) | helped by @Wikipedia & @BingMaps
'That word' (below-hyperlinked to an invitation to join me on Solitaire 2020) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Russia” is built on ancient words that mean "the Land of #Rus (family-name that means "the Men who |Row")."
- cities on Solitaire 2020's tour (cities whose names I'm sure Marina "HotForWords" Orlova had a good time with):
- Vladivostok
- Yuzhno-Zakhalinsk
- Khabharovsk
- Blagoveshchensk
- Neryungri (tho they spell it "Neryungry")
- Ayan
- Okhotsk
- Oymyakon
- Magadan
- Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky
- Srednekolymsk
- Anadyr
- Pevek
- Verkhoyansk
- Belunsky Ulus - I can't find this one on Bing's Maps (there's 'Belinski' or something–somewhere else in Russia–but not the one on Solitaire 2020's map) ... oh wait! "Belinskiy!" 😃
- Olenek (Olenyok)
- Suntar
- Bodaybo (Bodaibo?)
- Chita
- Palana
- Yakutsk - I remember this region's name from RISK
- where I also first heard of Irkutsk
- Kyzyl
- Kansk
- Ust-Ilimsk
- and I think this may've been a typo on S2020's part, but it appears the name of one of the Russian cities is "Tour"?
- Dudinka
- Hatanga (Wikipedia redirected me to "Khatanga")
- Severnaya Zemlya
- "New Earth" (Iska Isan? Новая Земля?)
- Naryan-Mar (like in "Mar-a-Lago"?)
- Salekhard
- Noyabrsk
- Khanty-Mansiysk
- Tomsk
