Khrushchev (Khrush) was also a Ukrainian beetle.
 

There was a Russian lady 400m runner called Krivoshapka - Crooked Hat.  Also a few Chernousov/Chernousovas = Black mouth.

 

(It’s because of serfdom - owners would give their serfs insulting names)

Yeah I've mostly decided to skip the weird Z's and things like that, sorry :p It's hard enough to try and keep track of things like Pérez vs Perez :d 

 

Thin skin is an interesting meaning of someone's name though :d 

 

That's disappointing. I thought é in Pérez is just the accent? Ž is separate letter, and not a variation of z - it's prounounced like zh. :p

Sleptsova - slepoy - blind - perfect name for a biathlete :p
