Russian Clerical Surname
Surnames of Russian Orthodox clergy, variously called семинаристские фамилии, семинарские фамилии, фамилии церковного происхождения, поповские фамилии, etc. (seminarist surnames, seminarian surnames, families of church origin, priestly surnames, etc.) are a category of Russian artificial surnames acquired by Russian Orthodox clergy. This practice originated in Russian Empire in the end of the 17th century and continued for two centuries. Most often surnames of this type were given to students of theological schools (seminary, , theological academy, etc.) by school heads, commonly to the students of lower social strata who did not have surnames or had "unpleasant", "cacophony, cacophonic" surnames, inappropriate for their future spiritual occupations.Шереметевский В.

Vladimir Pokrovsky (pilot)
Vladimir (, , pre-1918 orthography: ) is a masculine given name of Slavic origin, widespread throughout all Slavic nations in different forms and spellings. The earliest record of a person with the name is Vladimir of Bulgaria (). Etymology The Old East Slavic form of the name is Володимѣръ ''Volodiměr'', while the Old Church Slavonic form is ''Vladiměr''. According to Max Vasmer, the name is composed of Slavic владь ''vladĭ'' "to rule" and ''*mēri'' "great", "famous" (related to Gothic element ''mērs'', ''-mir'', cf. Theode''mir'', Vala''mir''). The modern ( pre-1918) Russian forms Владимиръ and Владиміръ are based on the Church Slavonic one, with the replacement of мѣръ by миръ or міръ resulting from a folk etymological association with миръ "peace" or міръ "world".

People's Artist Of The USSR
People's Artist of the USSR, also sometimes translated as National Artist of the USSR, was an honorary title granted to artists of the Soviet Union. The term is confusingly used to translate two Russian language titles: Народный артист СССР (''Narodny artist SSSR''), awarded in performing arts and Народный художник СССР (''Narodny khudozhnik SSSR''), granted in some visual arts. As those titles were granted by the government, honorees were afforded certain privileges and would often receive commissions from the Minister of Culture of the Soviet Union. Accordingly, artists and authors who expressed criticism of the Communist Party were seldom granted such recognition, if not outright censored. Each Soviet Republic, as well as the Autonomous Republics (ASSRs), had a similar award that would be held previously by virtually every receiver of the higher title of People's Artist of the USSR. Performing arts The title was bestowed for excepti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
