Author commented on this:

"...the worst thing was (and this is my fault) I consulted with someone who taught me how to pronounce it, but then I sort of reverted back to the wrong pronunciation while I recorded and I’m ashamed to say it was 3am and I just didn’t want to record for the 10th time . I figured if people understood that it was an honest mistake and not me being lazy they might forgive me! Next time I’ll be taking much better care!"

i was also completely puzzled what the hell "yearny" (or something) meant until i saw мирный on the map

god, is it that hard to check up at least the approximate pronunciation of things and places when you are making a video like that?

I've been studying Russian for several years. The pronunciation of certain letters and letter combinations can be difficult; give people a break. Or at least correct them in a helpful way.
