Reading Russian literature be like
Ivan in our stories playing role like a Bob or something like that for American or English stories.
Ivanych is son of Ivan, not the Ivan
Hahaaha ivan Ivanovich chernov!!!
Иван Иванович Чернов
John Johnson, at your service.
«It’s a complicated Russian novel, everyone’s got nine different names!»
Not to mention the inevitable maid “Dunia”/“Dunyasha” and the quiet, sad, sacrificial “Sonya”.
What about Anton ?
Вано, Ванька, Иванко, Иванушка.
OP, did you find this meme on Russians in London Instagram account 😂😂
It’s all about peculiar and plural Russian renames and suffixes:
Ivan (the main)
Vanya (simple, Familiar)
VanECHKA (tender, as from girlfriend
VanUOK (tender, as from friends)
VanYUSHA (adorable, as from Mom)
VanKA (rude)
Ivanich is a patronymic (your fathers name)
Vano (rarely using as familiar slang)
As a native, I have to look up characters mid-book if the author keeps switching to calling them by their name and patronimic. I can only remember names and surnames, cut me some slack! You guys are not alone haha
А как насчёт Вано?
🤣
Вонючка
Вы удивитесь, но в иностранных играх, фильмах, книгах Иванов ещë больше)

Ivan ivanovich Chernov

That’s true, but also all could be the same person, so one Spiderman with all those names stacked.
I tought Vanyusha another girl
Ivanych≠ Ivan. Ivan is his father
Also Van’ka (Ванька), for example, Van’ka Zhukov from a short story by A. P. Chekhov.
The beauty is that it could be one character and the author showed the attitude of different heroes of the novel towards him. Also, in Russia there is an unspoken rule to use not to be repeated in every paragraph.
This names variability kept me sane when I dated girl with same name as my sister and mother.

It is much better than reading any American novels with a name «Sam» or «Alan» and trying to guess the person’s sex
А еще бывает Ивáнов и Иванóв
I just came to the comments because my name is Ivan to see what people would say but it’s just about some book or movie
Duolingo is the same
Пушкин наше все.
It’s only names… The main difficulties begins with slang.
Иван Васильевич Иванов
What about «Vanish»?)
Александр ДЯЙКИН,Что это вообще значит?
Well yes, but actually no. But this still funny
So fanny…..
Sanya
Sanyok
Sasha
Shurik

Thats true, in Russia, reading our literature is something funny.
