To be fair, OLD people often times say Czechoslovakia when they mean to say the Czech Republic. Also, I think he deliberately refereed to the Russians as the "Soviets" to raise old people's Cold War fears about Russian influence.

I don't know about that.  Like Simfan, I've also heard a lot of people in their 20s say "Czechoslovakia" rather than "Czech Republic."

These gaffes won't go over well in Leningrad. You don't hear them saying "Soviet" in Bombay or Peking.

No, but the people in Paris say "Pékin," while those in Madrid say "Pekín," and the people in Rome say "Pechino."  I wonder when China is going to tell them to get with the times?
