Well, romans are no more. And i don't know how others but _i_ feel very
unconfortable when i see cities like breslau, stettin, danzig. I am sure
it could be the same for lethuvians when they see wilno (vilnius) as
polish city, or ukrainians when they see Lwow (Lviv) as polish city. 
Or white russians (belorussians??) when they see Minsk. etc, etc.
