[Facts] Question about Russian name usage
Would someone introduce themselves using a diminutive? For example, introducing themselves as Katya when her name is Katherine. Also, would a person higher in authority, say, a boss, call someone by a diminutive or their actual name? How about someone lower in authority?Is it pretty much like the West, where Dave is simply Dave to everyone, and almost never David?
