medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Under the Bolsheviks in Russia there appeared a tradition to grant poor
children names like Revoljutsiya (Revolution), Vilen (V.I.Len(in)), or
Vladlen (Vlad(imir)Len(in)), Elektrostantsiya (Electric Station), even
Spartak after the gladiator who revolted against Rome and was considered to
be a predecessor of the Russian revolutionists.
