on a totally frivolous note - why does the guy in their intro use RP? That's very strange.
And of course the story itself very sad. A neighbor of ours was in Kosovo doing Human Rights Work and trying to help the UN clean up right after. He has some amazing stories.
I know all the ukr/Russians I worked with sort of insisted that any accent that wasn't RP was inferior, so that may be an E Europe thing. It infuriated me to explain that American and brit English is essentially THE SAME with a few expressions being different. over and over and over and over ad naseum.
