They will inevitably find this post and you will be self-annihilated. Don't do it, Genghis. Our Icons must set a higher standard.

I don't knock any Russian, but I have watched a lot of Bond movies.

"Most Russian surnames have different forms depending on gender—for example, the wife of Борис Ельцин (Boris Yel'tsin) is Наина Ельцина (Naina Yel'tsina). Note that this change of grammatical gender is a characteristic of East Slavic languages, and is not considered to be changing the name received from a woman's father or husband (compare the equivalent rule in Czech). The correct transliteration of such feminine names in English is debated: sometimes women's names are given in their original form, sometimes in the masculine form (technically incorrect, but more widely recognized)."
