bilby commented on the word monogorod
"Monogorods are Russian towns that survive purely on the basis of one major factory. Everywhere in the world, there are towns and cities that grew up around particular industries, but the Soviet Union's planned economy made the situation more extreme, and there are more than 500 such places in Russia today."

My pleasure. It's fun looking out for monovocalics and panvocalics now. :)
