Russian Naming Convention: Difference between revisions

You're reading a Russian-written and/or set novel in which there's a hot [[Sensual Slavs|Soviet]] [[MataSeductive HariSpy|spy]] (with blonde highlights, natch) called Ekaterina Ivanovna Smirnova. She hangs around Moscow and goes to Moscow Centre to do her work, where she's called Comrade Major Smirnova or Ekaterina Ivanovna. Then she goes to visit her friends, who start calling her Katya. Then she visits her parents at their [[Dacha]] (they're senior CPSU members, so they have a dacha) and they call her ''Katen'ka''.
