That's because either Lisa or Reuters made a typo. Having taken some
Russian in college, I was immediately suspicious of the link above, since
the Russian word for "Caucausus" transliterates to "Kavkaz", not "Kavkav"

And indeed, www.kavzazcenter.com comes up fine in my browser.

Russian. It would be easy to say Reuters made the error, but it might
have well been my mistake, and I apologize.]
