Each time period is reflected through the emergence of neologisms in the language. Some of them appear and disappear rather quickly, others linger, reminding people of the past. The same goes for names. In the era of the USSR, under the influence of propaganda and the general state of mind of the Soviet people, a large number of new names were invented. Now their meaning has lost its relevance, although the people of that time probably believed that their ideals, expressed in the names of unusual sounds, would not be forgotten.
Instructions
Step 1
Of course, the overwhelming number of names were associated with the names of the leaders or leaders of the Soviet movement. For example, the initials of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin were reflected in such Soviet names as Vil, Vilen, Vilor, Vladlen. From the combination of the surnames Marx and Lenin, the beautiful name Marlene was obtained, however, it has long existed in Europe, but in its meaning. The winner of the Nazis, Joseph Stalin, went down in history forever, including through the name Pofistal. Historical figures such as Dzerzhinsky and Trotsky have been immortalized through the names Fed and Troled.
Step 2
Some Soviet neologisms reflected historical events, achievements of the times of the USSR, ideals of the Soviet era. The name Gertrude existed earlier, mainly in European countries, but it gained popularity in the USSR precisely because of the new meaning - the heroine of labor. Barricade, Revolution and Lucius talked about events important for the country. The name of Dazdraperma is "Long live the first of May!" - gained fame rather thanks to the power of creative thought. In fact, children were not called that name. The Tatar name Damir (a) was revised in a new manner with the meaning "Long live the world revolution!"
Step 3
The name Dasdges paid tribute to the builders of Dneproges. The oldest Russian name Dmitry in the diminutive-affectionate version of Dima was interpreted as an abbreviation for "dialectical materialism". The name of Dotnar - "Daughter of the working people" - was to the taste of the citizens of the republics of Central Asia and remains popular to this day. The name Kim sounded simple, capacious and meant "Communist Youth International". It has taken root well, so nowadays it is easy to find Kims among the older generation. The words of the patriotic song "The Red Army is Strongest of All …" formed the basis of the name Kravsil. The names of Lagshmivar and Lapanald marked the foundation of the Schmidt camp in the Arctic and the drift of the Papanovites on the ice floe. This category also includes the name Ousminalde, short for "Otto Yulievich Schmidt on an ice floe."
Step 4
In the era of technological progress, names such as Persostratus (First Soviet stratospheric balloon), Rem (revolution, electrification, modernization), Elina (electrification and industrialization) and Jarek (Nuclear reactor) were born. The flight of Yuri Gagarin into space was marked by the emergence of new names from the initials of his name and those associated with his achievements: Uyukos (Ura, Yura in space), Yurgag (Yuri Gagarin), Yurgoz (Yuri Gagarin circled the Earth).
Step 5
Festive dates, important for that time, were reflected in the female names Oktyabrin and Noyabrin. And at the same time, such names were really popular. For example, the famous Soviet actress Nonna Mordyukova was not Nonna at all. The girl's parents, devoted to the revolution, named her Noyabrina. The bearers of the name of October were the Soviet poet Oktyabrina Voronova and TV presenter Oktyabrina Ganichkina.
