I see what you are after and you solved the syntax problem I was having, but 
now I get the same error on a different line:

ad,l'aldosa,L'Aldosa,02,42.5833333,1.6333333

I guess it considers that line quoted now.  In other words, some lines may 
have both single and double quotes involved, like this:

kz,otdeleniye imeni dvadtsat' vtorogo parts"yezda,Otdeleniye Imeni Dvadtsat' 
Vtorogo Parts"yezda,10,41.47,69.1280556

Is there any way to tell Postgresql that a CSV file has no quotes around each 
field, and that each field may have single or double quotes or both?
