Hi

russian stemmer incorrectly stem word "Kiev" (City name).

This examples is ok:

Kieva => Kiev
Kieve => Kiev

but this

Kiev => Ki

is not ok :(

I thiks the program thinks that there is a word "Ki" and Kiev is
"mnozhestvennoe chislo v roditelnom padezhe" (sorry for russian, but i
do not know how to say that in english)

Please tell me, how to workaround this problem ?
(I'm using perl binding Lingua::Stem::Snowball)

Thank you in advance
