[ Digimon Card template by @digi-lov ]

Made a fanmade Tamer card ft. my OC, Viktoria.

I may have spent a good few hours making this and I'm quite happy with how this turned out. :-]

Admittedly, as a person who has never played the card game before, I had to look up to a few Tamer cards as references just to get the idea and figure out what to write the card's Effects. OTL

Russian Names

Russian names are honestly so interesting, and Russian naming culture is very different from the rest of the world. So here we are today to break it down:

The Full Name

Russian names are styled similarly to American names, in the sense that they both have a first-middle-last structure. Russian names are styled as: Given Name – Patronymic – Family Name. Now, first let’s break down each of these names before getting into how to call one another.

 Given Name

Common Male Names - Mikhail, Dmitri, Daniil, Kiriil, Andrei, Egor, Nikita, Alexei, Ilya, Roman, Yaroslav, Vladimir, Sergei, Nikolai, Petyr, Ivan

Common Female Names - Alexandra, Alina, Alisa, Alyona, Anastasia, Anna, Vera, Veronika, Viktoria, Daria, Evgenia, Ekaterina, Elizaveta, Elena, Inna, Ksenia, Lidia, Lyubov, Maria, Maya, Olga, Polina, Sofia, Svetlana, Tatiana, Yulia

Given names are usually reduced to diminutives. Diminutives are shorter “nicknames” given affectionately. Common ones include: Anastasia --> Nastya, Maria --> Masha, Alexander/dra --> Sasha, Dmitri --> Dima. Can’t see much of a pattern? Well that’s because there kind of isn’t one. A loosely applied rule says to add -sha to the first syllable of a name (Ma[ria] --> Masha, Da[ria] --> Dasha, Mi[khail] --> Misha, Pa[vel] --> Pasha). Some add -a or -ya to a certain part of the name (Vic[toria] --> Vika, Pyot[r]--> Petya). Some names don’t even have diminutives (Vera, Nikita, Maxim). Usually there is a chain of names given to a certain given name, here is an example:

Alexander - Sasha - Sashura - Shura

Here is a list of common names and their diminutives:

- Alexander/Alexandra - Sasha

- Anastasia - Nastasia, Nastya

- Anna - Anya

- Veronika - Nika

- Viktoria - Vika

- Daria - Dasha

- Dmitri - Dima                    

- Evgenia/Evgeni - Zhenya

- Ekaterina - Katya

- Elizaveta - Liza

- Elena - Lena, Lenok

- Ksenia - Ksusha

- Maria - Masha

- Mikhail - Misha

- Petyr - Petya

- Polina - Polya

- Sofia - Sonya

There are even more affectionate names, given usually by friends or loved ones. For example, Maria could become Mashenka and Nikolai becomes Nikolushka or Nikolenka. These forms are generally derived by adding one of these varrious suffixes - -ochk-, -echk-, -onyk-, -enyk-, -ushk-, -yushk-, -yush-, -yash-, -ul-, -ush-, -un-, -us-, -k-, -ik (etc) - to the given name of diminutive.

Other Notes: Alena and Alyona can be the same name (see: Alena Kostornaia/Alyona Kostornaya), if Alena is spelled Alëna in the cryllic. Alena is the way of spelling in English, but the correct pronunciation is A-li-o-na. I and Y can sometimes be interchangeable. For example, Sonya can also be spelled as Sonia. 

Patronymic

Patronymics are sort of like the “middle names” used in America, however, they are derived from the father’s given name. For example in these names – Avdotia Romanovna, Rodion Romanovich - the second name (Romanovna, Romanovich) is the patronymic. Siblings would share a patronymic (with variations between male and female) as they have the same father. 

Females add -ovna, -evna or -ichna to their father’s given name and males add -ovich, -evich or -ich to their father’s given name. For the examples shown above, the father’s name is Roman, and the female (Avdotia) adds -ovna making Romanovna, and the male (Rodion) adds -ovich making Romanovich. For a name like Dmitri, the female would be Dmitrievna, and the male would be Dmitrievich. For masculine names ending in a vowel, such as Ilya or Foma, when they are used as a base for patronymic, the corresponding endings are -ich (for men) and -inichna (for women). Patronymics can be further shortened like Andreich instead of Andreevich or Kirilych instead of Kiriilovich. These are typically seen in informal speech. 

If the father’s name is not known, then the mother can create the patronymic she wishes to give. 

Family Name

Common suffixes for Russian names are -ov, -yev, -sky, and -ko, -uk, -ych, -in.

Family names can differ by gender. Females usually add -a to their family name (Karenin à Karenina, Pavlov à Pavlova) or -aya (Oblonsky à Oblonskaya, Shcherbatsky à Shcherbatskaya). Only family names with neutral grammatical gender stay the same (such as -ko, Elizaveta Shilenko). Once married, females usually adopt the family name of their husband. (Anna Oblonskaya becomes Anna Karenina once marrying Karenin). 

Common last names in Russia are: Ivanov, Smirnov, Kuznetsov, Popov, Vasiliev, Petrov, Dmitriev, Kuzmin, Alexandrov. As seen, commonly, last names in Russian end in -ov. 

Forms of Address

The three-name format is typically only used in legal documents. If the three-name is spoken aloud, typically the family name comes first (Raskolnikov Rodion Romanovich). 

The formal format is the Given Name - Patronymic format. This is used by students to teachers and is the official way to communicate. Using this form may convey the speaker’s respect for the recipient. Teachers may call their students by just their family name, though otherwise, it is used very rarely. 

In informal communication, typically only the first name, and/or diminutive is used. In rural areas, people may use just the patronymic amongst themselves.

Notes: In competition and when referring to them in other parts of the world, typically we only acknowledge the given name and family name. (Alina Zagitova, no care for the patronymic [Ilnazovna]).

In your opinion, who are the best gymnasts that were never or are not yet world champions?

Bailie Key, Tan Sixin, Ludivine Furnon, Mo Huilan, Elena Produnova, Sae Miyakawa, YANG BO AND VIKTORIA KARPENKO ,…I’ll include Anna Pavlova but in a somewhat different category because she wasn’t so much unlucky as she made really dumb mistakes at the wrong time throughout her career lol. I think China is by far the team with the most wasted potential. I’m glad I don’t have to add Mai Murakami to this list because she finally won last year!

Ask Responses: Vaganova

Um... is Dasha no longer a lead in Suite En Blanc? Because Masha has done the Waltz of The Hours lead and Suite En Blanc for the first performance, and would appear to be doing it today (14th) as well. I’ve also noticed that Dasha’s partner, Nikos Gkentsef was in Estonia all day as well.

I don’t know. She was one of the three (I think) casts that rehearsed “Suite en Blanc”, she danced L’adage during the general rehearsal and there’s still one performance left (on the 16th). And Gkentsef is already back from Tallin.

Do you have any idea why maria petukhova isn’t casted for anything? i really enjoy her dancing :(

She was the lead in “The Naiad and the Fisherman” on the 12th of June.

Do you know anything about the costumes vba is using in Naiad and dance of the hours? Like who designed them and also is it the same designer that did Paquita or fairy doll? They are absolutely gorgeous!!

The costumes are the best thing I've ever seen! Do you know any information on what inspired the costumes for The Naiad and the Fisherman? Seeing pictures of Anna Pavlova in that role makes it seem like they departed quite a bit.

Dmitri Paradizov (the guy behind most of VBA costumes) is credited as the costume designer for “The Naiad and the Fisherman”, “Paquita” and “The Awakening of Flora”. The designer of the “La Gioconda” and “Suite en Blanc” costumes isn’t listed, which is surprising because, to me, the costumes have a very Paradizov feel about them.

Is Zakharova taking part in the graduation performance/ Petipa gala?

As of right now, here are the “guest artists” (returning graduates) for the remaining shows:

Mariinsky, June 16: Viktoria Tereshkina and Vladimir Shklyarov

Bolshoi, June 19: Svetlana Zakharova, Olga Smirnova, Yulia Stepanova, Evgenia Obraztsova, Eleonora Sevenard, Mikhail Lobukhin and Egor Gerashchenko.

Kremlin, June 20: Eleonora Sevenard and Egor Gerashchenko

Is it me or does this graduating class seem really young? Maybe it’s because we’ve all watched dancers like Ionova and Khoreva grow up for the past few years that it just seems weird to see them go?

I think they seem young because you’ve watched them grow up over the years.  d i s c l a i m e r

Greetings from your Secret Santa ( A different one :p) I hope you have been having a great year so far and will have a great rest of the year! If you were to make two teams of 7 of your favorite gymnasts (any gymnast including ncaa and junior) go against eachother in competition, who would you put on the teams? Have a happy holidays!

Happy holidays to you too! This hasn’t exactly been my best year but it hasn’t been really bad either. How was yours?Ok so for the teams, I didn’t really try to make them balanced, I just put some of my favorite gymnasts into one or the other, in no particular order:Team 1:Aliya MustafinaLarisa IordacheElena EreminaSui LuSandra IzbasaAnna PavlovaCatalina PonorTeam 2:Simone BilesViktoria KomovaCheng FeiAly RaismanKsenia AfanasyevaKyla RossJiang Yuyuan

Please tell us, how was Masha Iliushkina?

A dream, an absolute dream.  She was wonderful in act 1 as Paquita’s friend, but her real shining moment came during the grand pas (act 3) in her variation.  She danced the Anna Pavlova variation (the one Savelieva danced at Vaganova) and I have never seen it performed more beautifully.  Her musicality and nuances are so intricate and detailed while seeming completely natural.  Her technique was flawless, I would love to have such perfect pirouettes from fifth, and her port de bras and back and literally everything were to die for.  She got the biggest applause (other than Viktoria Tereshkina) out of all the variations and in the curtain calls and for very good reason.  

I’ll answer your ask about Khiteeva in the same one:

Yes, I saw her and she was better than I was anticipating.  She is a dancer I had to see in person to enjoy, for whatever reason her personality and stage presence didn’t carry through videos.  Is she a dancer who I think will be a knockout superstar?  No.  But she is very lovely.
