Moscow is changing its name to Maskow



It is indeed a tragedy as there are too many forest fires in Russia and Moscow is covered in smog over and above the scorching heat. It is partially natural disaster but part of it is the incompetence of the Russian government not to take necessary precautions to minimize forest fires and effectively extinguish those which are unavoidable. This incompetence of governments is spreading like an epidemic around the world. In Moscow, in order to survive, people had to wear masks. So maybe the more appropriate name for Moscow will be Maskow. The intention is not to belittle the tragedy but highlight the incompetence of the government there.

Here is a one story on the incompetence of the Russian government. This article provides a good review of the situation in Russia.
