This is interesting. Speaking about the "melted spot", Medvedev didn't name Kyiv directly but used the famous historical term that can be translated as "the Mother of cities of Rus'". That term was (allegedly) coined by
Oleg (Helgi) in the 10th century. And Rus', by the way, didn't mean Russia...but that was another story.
Now, those three words "
maty gorodom russkym" were written by Medvedev in a strange form that didn't correspond to Russian or Ukrainian or any other Slavic language. It contains several errors and looks and sounds as gibberish or a drunken babble. Any sane person can Google (OK, Yandex) the original words of Oleg and copy/paste them, in 2 minutes. Why Medvedev couldn't do it, I wonder. Are the rumours about his drunkenness true? No way!
