From a social point of view: during the revolution in Russia after WWI, the people’s worship of industrialization and leaders such as V.I. Lenin led to a new trend in naming the children. Actual names such as Vilena (from V.I. Lenin) and Tractor (yes, the VROOOMM) were often given to newborn babies. Just imagine the agonizing humiliation felt by these children when they became conscious of their names.

“Ma, I’ll be back in an hour I’m gonna go play some ball with Tractor”
