Pronounce "Brin"?
It's absurd that this article doesn't say how "Brin" is pronounced. To assume that everybody already knows is unjustifiably presumptuous.
I can think of at least two different ways to pronounce it in English (rhyming with "grin" or rhyming with "green"), which for this English encyclopedia is more important than how it is pronounced in Russian.
The vast majority of readers here will never need to say his name in Russian but will definitely need to say it in English if they ever talk about him. Giving the pronunciation in English IPA would be best, respelling second best, but even "rhymes with 'grin'", etc, would be better than the nothing it gives now.
Someone made this request in an earlier, archived section, but it was effectively ignored. PLEASE don't sweep it under the rug again. How to pronounce an important person's name is not a trivial concern. —38.49.72.17 (talk) 01:36, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
