quote:

	As a result, "Vauxhall" became a generic term for other
	pleasure gardens, including Bath's "Sydney Gardens" Vauxhall,
	much visited by Jane Austen.  Indeed, Vauxhall gave the
	Russians their word for "railway station" which is pronounced
	"vokzal".

in cyrillic it's "=D0=B2=D0=BE=D0=BA=D0=B7=D0=B0=D0=BB"
