Russian Classes: How Russian names mutate - Fyodor
Russian has a way of changing a person's name in numerous ways, depending on everything from status to situation. Today we continue with another treasured Russian writer - Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky!
Dostoyevsky's full name (we use it for formal situations) consists of the first name and patronymic, spelled the following way: Фёдор Михайлович.
And if Fyodor is himself the father, his son's patronymic would be Fyodorovich, and his daughter would be Fyodorovna.
