Each era was characterized by its own fashion for clothing, hairstyle, communication style, and even names. In the Soviet Union, after the 1917 revolution and until its collapse, children were very often given names derived from the symbols of that time. Take the well-known Dazdraperma, a name created from the slogan "Long live May 1!" This review presents the funniest names derived from geographical names, sciences, revolutionary symbols.
The inhabitants, carried away by the advanced achievements of Soviet science, gladly named their children: Wolfram, Helium, Hypotenuza, Drezin. Even the euphonious "Elina" is an abbreviation for "electrification and industrialization".
Abbreviations derived from patriotic slogans were especially popular. People altered them as best they could: Dazvsemir - Long live the world Revolution! Dazdranagon - Long live the people of Honduras! Dazdrasmygda - Long live the link between town and village! Divide - Lenin's case lives on! Deleor - Lenin's case - October Revolution!
All sorts of social organizations also inspired citizens to create new names: Avtodor - short for "Society for the Promotion of Motoring and Improving Roads." - "Holiday of Soviet power" Piachegod - "Five-year plan - in four years!"
Party leaders evoked almost awe among the common people, and in order to somehow be involved in the powerful of this world, parents named their children by combinations of names, patronymics and surnames of the leaders: Varlen - Lenin's Great Army Vidlen - Lenin's great ideas Vilyur - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin loves Russia Isail - Executor of Ilyich's behests Lelyud - Lenin loves children Plinta - Party of Lenin and the People's Labor Army Another unusual name Yurgag - derived from the person with the most charming smile - Yuri Gagarin. This man conquered millions of hearts not only by being the first to fly into space, but also by his extraordinary charisma, sense of humor and charm.
