Okay, sorry to bore you with this question of Russian surnames, but I'm just watching the tennis at Filderstadt, so it's preoccupying me. Sharapova, Kournikova, Dementieva - I'd guess that the stress fell on the second syllable every time - oh, and the same goes for Myskina - (ah no sorry first syllable for her)but does it?
Also - "Doschitai da sta" (Forgive the crapy English transcription). How come it's pronounced "sta" here and then later Lena sings "sto adeen, sto adeen"...I can definitely smell a rule here.
