Andrei Fëdorov
Nom & vote Del on this bio of a 39-y.o. (nearly-)Average Joe Professor, who is unusual but not notable in having in his late 20s completed his education in his native Russia and apparently become a Costa Rican citizen. --Jerzy•t 19:56, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: In case someone thinks that is unusual enough to be notable, we deserve more research before taking it into acct:
 * _ _ If his mother were Russian and his father a Latin-American, it would be significantly less unusual. And while anomie that provokes a "search for one's roots" does not preclude notability, it is usually a profound distraction from achieving things that constitute notability.
 * _ _ In that case and in light of the surname, evaluating the full picture might require knowing whether the parents were married to each other. However, i think i recall that Soviet-era women predominantly kept their surnames on marrying; i don't recall anything about the surnames of their children, except that Stalin's sons Yakov Dzhugashvili and Vasily Dzhugashvili by his two wives used his birth-surname, and his (disaffected) daughter Svetlana Alliluyeva used her mother's.
 * _ _ IMO the bio's surname could be
 * a Russian father's surname,
 * the Russianization of a Latin-American surname, or
 * the masculine form of a feminine surname that i assume would be Fëdorova or Fedorova.
 * IMO #3 could possibly be the approach used in surnaming the male child of some absent fathers. --Jerzy•t 19:56, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
