    The «middle name» is technically not a middle name, it's a patronym, literally meaning «Someone's son» or «Someone's daughter». We don't have actual middle names like Homer J. Simpson.

    My geography teacher is from Bratsk. It's a city located on the Angara river that flows from Baikal lake. The Angara river then flows into Yenisei river. If my teacher saw that you mapped the Angara and the Yenisei as Lena, he'd find you.
    P. S. Angara is the only river flowing from Baikal. Lena starts very close to Baikal but on the other side of the mountain range.

    край это не приграничная область, раньше когда республик не существовало, эти национальные территории входили в состав областей, которые назывались краем, а после выделения республик в отдельные субъекты, название край просто оставили

      funny. I googled what fort ross looks like and it looks a lot like old houses in russian villages, you can see them if you come to any old village in russia. And the name itself is very reminiscent of the name of Russian companies (we prefix ross in many names, this is the first syllable of the word "Russia" in Russian, we pronounce it through the letter "O")

    Just wanna add 2 notable name to the list: Nikolai Lobachevsky and Grigori Perelman
    .
    Lobachevsky is one of the discoverers of hyperbolic geometry, one special case of non-Euclidean geometry, which builds the road to the general relativity.
    Perelman won the Fields Medal in 2006, due to his achievement for proving the Poincaré conjecture, the only solved Millennium Prize Problem. But he's also famous for rejecting most of the award and prize he won.

    Me and my friends met four Russians in college, two girls and two boys. I remember the teacher telling some silly joke and all of us laughing a bit except them. Also one of them was this absolute unit of a guy called Simon who was younger than us but bulkier and taller than all of my friends and almost me (I'm 1'95m/6'5fti). They seemed kind of... too serious, specially for us Spaniards but we started hanging with them and we were surprised of how cool and fun they were once we got to know them. We regretted not hanging with them before.
