Help[Opinions] Re: Best for Jewish soviet actress born I Ukriane
in reply to a message by Anya Mel’nik or Mel’nyk
(I am a native Russian speaker BTW)
Oktybrina was a communist, that's why I chose Oktibryna as her first name in the first place. She changed her name in order to conform to Soviet standards. The whole point of her story is that she devotes her life to Marxism and gets a stab in the back (metaphorically and literally)
Also as someone who knows a lot about Slavic names and someone who learns German I automatically assumed people would pronounce Julia as (Yoo-lya).
I myself come from a family with both communist Jews and Jews who were victims of repression. Oktybrina's story is based on my own family.
