Seems like both are correct.

@parasharrajat I think The Russian version is "Kiev".

Umm we'd have to convince the maintainers at moment-timezone for this change.

[joelbettner]

Given that both spellings are considered correct, and that that to change it to "Kiev" we'd have to update 3rd party code, I do not think this is an issue. I'm going to close.
