explanation of Russian names for Anglophone undergrads?

[Anne L Lounsbery]

Might anyone suggest a good source (a short article maybe?) for helping
English-speaking undergraduates make sense of Russian names and their
connotations in various forms? I’m teaching *War and Peace *to students who
know nothing about Russian or Russia. I have a name handout I made up
myself, but I’m sure there’s something better out there.



Please email me off-list at anne.lounsbery at nyu.edu, and thanks in advance.
