<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 91852, member: 33&quot;]Hm, something else I just noticed. That first part consisting of two letters has quotation marks around it. Do you think it might be a nickname? I don&#039;t think Russians would normally indicate things that way, but suppose the person was working in another country and had adopted Western ways? Also, Russians would normally put their initials AFTER the surname. </p><p><br /></p><p>As you probably know, in Russian lacquer ware, for example, quotation marks are often used around the title of a piece rather than around a person&#039;s name. But then again, this is not lacquer ware. And normally the quoted title is either in the middle or the left side of the bottom rather than right next to the name.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I&#039;m not sure about this... kind of seems non-standard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
