Today, Good Morning America aired a segment where three Russia's most powerful women (?) talked about their country.

Good job, Good Morning America! You managed to mispronounce the names of the three most powerful Russian women. Good thing, they are not that powerful. We have heard of one, Aliona Doletskaya, the editor of Russian Vogue and heir apparent to Anna Wintour. We are sorry to inform you, however, that the remaining two women are not very powerful. Neither well-known. Or known.

Katya Grachova, the host of Russia Today television, is not powerful because Russia Today is an English-language channel and is watched mainly in the US. People who have heard of Katya are mainly American television producers who came to Russia to film a segment for Good Morning America.

The third most powerful woman, Elena Kolchina, the director of Renaissance Investment Management Bank, we haven't heard of before we saw your show. We have heard of the bank thought: it nearly went bust during the financial crisis and was bought by Mikhail Prokhorov around the same time the said Prokhorov has bought the NJ Nets.

We liked the segment after all. But we'd like to make two points: Firstly, the most powerful women in Russia are usually the wives of the most powerful men there. And secondly, we are really concerned about Aliona Doletskaya's prospects for becoming the editor of the American Vogue. How can she, if America cannot learn to say her name korraktly. Da?
