Azeri news agency APA recently posted a story about Prime Minister Vlad Filat's televized speech, during which he spoke about the Russian loan Chisinau hopes to obtain from Moscow.
Mr. Filat would be surprised to find out, however, that he is actually Mr. Filatov.
The Moldovan P.M. should not complain. Other Moldovan officials are often in a similar situation. The "h" in Speaker and interim President Mihai Ghimpu's name often disappears mysteriously, making way for Mr. Gimpu.
In addition, Chisinau mayor Dorin Chirtoaca often becomes Chirtoca.
In any case, Moldovan officials will probably have to learn how to deal with this problem and hope that the incorrectly spelled names are at least somewhat close to their actual names. :)
