Yeah, I made a mistake mixing "e" and "o", but the first part is OK for most Slavic languages.

Chornobyl (takes its name from grass, but it doesn't matter) is primarily composed of the word "chorny", that is, "black".
In Russian "чёрный", sounds like "chorhyy", the second letter in this word - the one that russians absolutely don’t know how to use - they write it wrong, and then they read it differently, half of the people aren’t even sure that it’s real - it is read as "yo", it is heard in the word more like [o], when the word is transformed (чёрный -> черно), the sound generally changes to [e] (not [і]): Chernobyl. So, "chornyy", but "chernobyl". They take a strange letter, lose half of it along the way, and bring a completely different sound.
In Ukrainian, the basic rule is: you write as you hear it. There are no such letters that are written but not pronounced, and vice versa, so the word "chornyy" is written through [o], exactly as it is heard. In all other forms and types of the word, the letter will remain by itself. Logically and orderly.
As far as I remember, there is no single logic in this word in Slavic languages, especially the first part, some peoples have completely lost the vowel in this place (crn), or pronounce exactly the letter that they write (černý or čorny).
Černobilj <- The last three letters don't make sense at all. There's no [і] there, and lj or l are both bad options, because in both languages it's just [l] so that foreigners don't get hurt more than usual, although in both languages it's a soft letter L, that is [l'].

Okay, time for a very strange giveaway.
Some time ago, a store (I think official) made some kind of a fool of itself on its website and accidentally sold S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 for 0.00 euros. I really, really, really want to play this game someday, so I managed to get that key there. As it turned out, the key there doesn't work in Ukraine (thank you for that, Ukrainian developer). Then I forgot about it, but today I found it in the file. The status of this key is unknown, it MOST LIKELY still works and activates the game, but there is a CHANCE that it CAN BE REVOKED.
I haven't heard of any cases of this happening yet. Maybe they lost a few keys and decided not to contact the publisher. I don't know. But there is a chance.
So I offer this key to someone with all the conditions listed above. Just check if you are on the list of countries (please actually check):
(they are not happy with key holders from poor countries)
Then remember all of the above: the key MAY BE REVOKED. And then just indicate with a smiley (let's say the traditional angry one) that you are interested, and I will choose someone and let them try it. It is unlikely to be a blind draw.

Damn. Looks like I missed out on another giveaway. Oh, well. At least I have new service, (1 GB down/up), as of today. 🎉

It’s so frustrating that region locks still exist, and they seem to be even more restrictive than before.
