Parents will be limited riot of fantasy — Parliamentary newspaper

So far, Russian parents have complete freedom of action in this matter. The only restriction is that the name of the child must consist of letters, numbers in the name are not allowed.

Did you agree on the name of your grandson with your grandmother?

The author of the bill, Senator Valentina Petrenko, considered that the name of a Russian cannot simultaneously consist of digital and alphabetic designations, numerals, symbols or any combination of them, abbreviations, profanity, and also contain indications of ranks and positions. Now the President or the Minister will not write in the column «name» in the birth certificate.

“Currently, the registry office does not refuse to register a child’s name because it is dissonant, offensive, uncultured, unpronounceable. At the same time, there is no norm in the current legislation that would oblige parents to give their children names that do not violate children’s interests and rights, ”the senator said. She referred to the list of strange names maintained by the Moscow registry offices. Among them are Luke-Happiness Summerset Ocean, Nikolai-Nikita-Nile, Princess Daniella, Prince, Alice-Nefertiti and a number of other equally inventive names.

There is only one attempt to give a child not a name, but an alphanumeric code in Russia. In 2002, Muscovites Vyacheslav Voronin and Marina Frolova decided to name their son BOC rVF 260602 (a biological object of a person of the Voronin-Frolov family, born on June 26, 2002). But the registry office refused to register such a name, the court upheld the decision. As a result, the boy lives without documents. In order to get him into school, his parents issued his son a «passport of a citizen of the world», issued by an international non-profit organization registered in Washington.

In the State Duma, the senator’s initiative passed all the necessary procedural stages. During the second reading, the bill was slightly tweaked — the legislators considered abbreviations as names acceptable. And the motive for this was not only exotic names like Dazdraperma (“Long live the First of May!”), But also quite familiar Vladleny (Vladimir Lenin) or Kima (Communist Youth International).

In addition, the deputies provided citizens with the opportunity to give the child a double surname, made up of the names of the father and mother.

Then the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party Vladimir Zhirinovsky agreed that it is necessary to limit the rights of parents in choosing a name. “Why are they given outlandish names? To stand out. Now the Family Code does not provide for restrictions. A young man has the right to change his name from the age of 14, but all the mockery occurs earlier, ”the Liberal Democrat recalled.

He proposed introducing a norm so that parents, before giving a name to their child, enlist the consent of grandparents, because a child is a “common derivative” of the whole family. And the communist Nikolai Osadchiy and the Socialist-Revolutionary Fedot Tumusov expressed the opinion that prohibitive measures are not enough anyway, because children in Russia are called as soon as they are — both scientific terms and animal species. They proposed to create a registry or encyclopedia of allowed names.

Pavel Krasheninnikov, head of the Committee for State Construction, deputy from United Russia, stressed that «of course, every person has the right to a worthy name, but the restrictions must be absolutely clear and unambiguous in order to prevent the arbitrariness of the registry office.»

Lucifer lives in Russia

Passion for unusual names began in the days of the USSR. For example, after the victory in World War II, the kids began to be called Pofistal (Victor of fascism Joseph Stalin), Uryurvkos (Hurrah, Yura in space!), Ivis (JV Stalin), Izil (executor of Ilyich’s precepts), Stator (Stalin triumphs) .

In the 90s of the XX century in Russia there was a surge of interest in unusual names, especially those with a foreign connotation. Instead of Mikhail, it was fashionable to call the child Michael or Michel, the Elizabeths became Louises, the Alexeis became Alexs.

In the 2000s, many Prokhorov, Potapov, Zakharov, Praskovey, Agafy appeared in Russia.

But that was only the beginning. In June 2010, a Ryazan family named a child after a political party, United Russia. In 2011, in Omsk, the parents gave the newborn the name Medmiya, naming her in honor of the then President of Russia, and now Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

Maybe in the future United Russia and Medmiya will meet and become friends with a boy from Khakassia named Vlapunal (stands for «Vladimir Putin is our leader») and a girl named Vyborina. The children were born on election day, for which they received such names.

Not only the political world, but also the serial world often influences parents. Game of Thrones, a series based on George R.R.R. Martin’s epic fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire, has inspired many parents to name their children after their favorite characters. In honor of the heroine of the series Arya Stark, a brave girl with a difficult fate, eight newborns were registered in Moscow, and four in St. Petersburg.

Another popular name is Cinderella. It was received by girls in Tula and Apsheronsk.

The family of Konstantin and Natalya Menshikov distinguished themselves by naming their son Lucifer, shocking relatives and friends. The couple explained this by saying that Lucifer is a symbol of freedom of thought and intellect.

There are parents who call their children Prince, Earl or Lord. In the Voronezh region, for example, only in the last few years have children been registered with the names Tsar, Tsaritsa and Prince.

There are also romantics who call their babies Dawn, Luna, Flower, Cherry, and patriots who simply call their daughters Russia. Recently, the media wrote about a girl who was named Syria. The father at the moment when the daughter was born was there on a business trip, so the mother decided to name her daughter that. Among other «geographical» names come across India, Moscow, America, Sevastopol, Byzantium and the «trend» of the last few years — Crimea.

Most mothers and fathers say that they give their children unusual names out of good intentions. First of all, so that they attract attention, stand out from the crowd. Of course, some parents later regret their decision — peers mock their children, who, growing up, often just change their names.

What about them

The longest name in the world is an Indian named Brahmatra. It consists of 1478 letters, which are a series of names of historical places merged together, the names of famous diplomats and scientists. It takes at least ten minutes to read the name.

Compared to him, the full name of Miss S. Ellen Georgiana Ser-Lekken from Montana in the USA is mere trifles, only 598 letters. A lush set of names is not uncommon in Spain either. The famous artist Pablo Picasso’s full name was Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomukeno Crispin Crispiano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz and Picasso.

And in France there lived a family without a surname. Instead, she wore a set of numbers — 1792. Four sons were named the months of the year. Thus, in the passport and other documents it looked like this: January 1792, February 1792, March 1792 and April 1792. The last representative of this strange family, Mr March 1792, died in September 1904.

It should be noted that bans on the registration of «strange» names are already in effect in some foreign countries, in particular, in Belarus, Germany and Sweden. For example, in 2009year, Swedish parents were denied registration of a name consisting of one letter Q. In Denmark, the Dominican Republic, Iceland, there is a single list of permitted names. Such a system was adopted in New Zealand after numerous attempts by parents to name Justice, King, Lucifer, Messiah, Christ, Bus Stop No. 16, an asterisk (*). In the same place, in 2008, the twins were named Benson & Hedges in honor of the popular brand of cigarettes.

The name of a boy born in 1991 in Sweden is Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116. Alternatively, dad just fell asleep on the keyboard, choosing a name for his son. Parents were denied registration. Interestingly, the child was originally named Albin, but parents before 19For 96 years they refused to register it, for which they paid a fine of five thousand crowns — about 750 US dollars. Then they asked permission to give their son a name consisting of 43 letters and numbers. But the court again refused.

However, in Sweden they also tried to name children Ikea, Superman, Veranda, Lego, Google and Q — in honor of a character from the Star Trek series. Now all these names are banned in Sweden.

And one Chinese couple decided to give the child a short and understandable name — the electronic symbol — @. The father claimed that this sign symbolizes love for his son. But the parents refused.

Full of inventors, it turned out, lives in Mexico. There you can easily meet the Terminator, Batman, James Bond and Harry Potter.

There is a teenager in Britain who named himself after seven comic book heroes at once — his name sounds like this: Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, Wolverine, Hulk and The Flash Combined.

There are a number of countries that have enshrined lists of banned names at the legislative level. For example, in New Zealand it is impossible to name children Justice, King, Messiah and Christ, in Germany it is forbidden to name Osama bin Laden, in the USA — Adolf Hitler, in Brazil — Saddam Hussein.

Jussi Adler-Olsen Book Guide

Childhood in psychiatric hospitals

Jussi Adler-Olsen was born in 1950 in Copenhagen. He was the youngest of four children of the successful psychiatrist Henry Olsen. The boy spent his childhood in a psychiatric hospital in Denmark, where his father worked: the families of the employees lived in the same institution. It was the beginning of the fifties, pharmaceuticals for the treatment of psychiatric diseases did not yet exist. The treatment was terrible: the sick were tied up, beaten with electric shocks, some were kept in cages with almost no clothes. It was a world where patients were victims and doctors were villains. And a world where children interacted daily with patients. Jussi says it taught him to treat his surroundings with respect, no matter how strange those surroundings may seem.

— Being among mentally ill people influenced my life and work. My childhood was happy, but I learned early on the duality of human nature: that there is no absolute good and evil, that both can coexist in one person.

Despite such a specific childhood experience, the writer remembers his father with great warmth and love:

“My father was a good man. He once told me: «Jussi, you have so many talents, try to discover them.» He made me understand that the presence of talent obliges not only to do everything possible for its implementation, but also to think carefully about your actions and not forget to evaluate the results. I think that if most politicians had a father like mine, the world would be a much more considerate and creative place.

Jussi graduated from high school, then studied medicine, sociology and filmmaking. His professional path has been challenging but exciting: Jussi has been a used comic book dealer, coordinating manager of the Danish peace movement, chairman of solar and digital technology companies, and head of an international publishing house. He composed music for films and even refurbished a few houses… But eventually he started writing.

“I had fun doing everything I did. But I knew from a very early age that I was good at writing: a couple of great Danish teachers told me about it and I entered many writing competitions. But it wasn’t until I became a publisher that I really understood what books to write.

Jussi Adler-Olsen’s career began with thrillers: in 1997, The House of the Alphabet was released. In 2007, he came up with a series of detective stories about the «Q» department, which suddenly became popular in Denmark, and then — all over the world. In 2013, a film based on the novel from the Caged Woman series was released, and then other books were filmed — The Pheasant Hunter, Darkness in a Bottle, Victim 64 and The Marco Effect.

So Jussi Adler-Olsen became a famous writer of crime novels.

What is “a small amount of blood” to you?

Novels by Jussi Adler-Olsen are classic Scandinavian detective stories. Dark, exciting, with a fascinating plot and a fair amount of humor. It features sometimes charming villains and raises important social issues. Journalists call the author’s books quite detailed, but he himself does not think so. Jussi Adler-Olsen admits that one of his writing rules is: the author creates not too clear and detailed description, and the reader gets the opportunity to invent their own images. He calls this technique «missing voice».

“I’m trying to challenge readers’ imaginations and their individual psychological experiences. For example, for someone «a small amount of blood» is really a small amount, and for someone it can cover the entire floor. By giving people the opportunity to imagine places and characters, I help them be surprised by their own thinking.

When asked by journalists about how he comes up with the plots of the Q department series, Jussi Adler-Olsen replies that in 2005 he wrote stories for all the main characters. All their backstory and storyline. The writer says that the life of the «Q» department for him is one story, divided into parts. All he has to do is come up with a case for each book.

Jussi Adler-Olsen writes the texts of his novels on an unusual gadget — a 1992 computer using a 1988 IBM model keyboard.

— I connect them to a laptop with my screen and work. I’m using WordPerfect 5.1. It is very old but perfect for writing. There is no cursor to distract you. Only blue screen, white letters, Courier font. So I can work ten hours in peace and my eyes don’t get tired.

To write a good book, Jussi Adler-Olsen tries to imagine how it will be read. It is no secret that most often people read in bed, before going to bed, because in the morning they have to go to work. There are a few tricks that help a writer grab a reader’s attention. For example, short sentences and a cliffhanger at the end of a chapter will force a person to read a couple more pages. Then a little humor — laughter will help you wake up, which means that there are still 15-20 minutes of wakefulness left. Then Adler-Olsen adds a crime to the plot. And here the curiosity wakes up in the reader. He reads to the next cliffhanger and starts all over again. “I don’t use this scheme all the time, of course,” Jussi says. “But it works great for me.”

Worst question for Adler-Olsen

Jussi Adler-Olsen was once asked what novels by contemporary writers he reads. «Oh no, that’s the worst question you could ever ask me!» he exclaimed. And he revealed the secret that for the last fifteen years he has not read books of the detective genre in order to be original and not steal anything inadvertently.

— Of course, I once read a lot of crime novels: for example, books by Swedish writers May Sjöwall and Per Valo, masters of the detective genre. I really enjoyed reading authors like Ira Levin (author of Rosemary’s Baby and The Stepford Wives) and Frederick Forsythe (English writer and MI6 agent for over 20 years).

Now Jussi Adler-Olsen is reading absurd literature like Erlend Lou and Peter Bicksel, as well as the plays of Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter. He loves the books of great authors — Steinbeck, Dickens, Hugo and Dumas. And he admits that he is looking forward to his retirement in order to read the novels of Yu Nesbo.

Books by Adler-Olsen: from a thriller to a series of detective stories about the «Q» department

Jussi Adler-Olsen’s career began with The Alphabet House, a thriller about two airmen who feign insanity and end up in a psychiatric hospital, hoping to stay there until the end of World War II. The novel turned out to be very successful, critics noted with what knowledge of the matter Jussi described the characters and the emotional state of the characters. In an interview, the writer said that he was greatly helped by the experience of his father, a psychiatrist, and how often Jussi Adler-Olsen himself became an eyewitness to work in a hospital:

“It certainly had a big impact on me. My father’s work gave me insight into people with these conditions and taught me to be skeptical about diagnosing mental disorders.

January 1944. British pilots Brian and James parachute out of a plane shot down over Germany. Leaving the chase, they get into an ambulance train carrying the wounded from the Eastern Front. Entrepreneurial English feign insanity and find themselves in a hospital located in the mountains of the Black Forest. However, it soon turns out that there are other simulators in the department under the strange name «House of the Alphabet».

Department «Q»

Jussi Adler-Olsen’s «Q» series has become one of the most popular detective series in the world. Department «Q» is a division of the Copenhagen police that deals with cold cases. The office of the department is located in the basement, and everyone considers its employees losers. The department is headed by Karl Merk, and Assad, an employee without any experience in investigative work, helps him.

“Karl Merck is a combination of Mr. Merck and Karl,” says Adler-Olsen. “Mr. Merk was a patient of my father. He killed his wife. At the age of six, I knew him as a very kind person. So I realized very early that good and evil can easily coexist in one person. As for Carl, it’s partly me. My baptismal name is Carl Waldemar Jussi Henry Adler-Olsen. Karl Mörk and I have a common feature — laziness. It always embarrassed me, so I tried to be diligent. I envy Karl’s ability to take a nap at a moment’s notice. We are also both direct: we don’t beat around the bush when we need to get the message across. My personal experience has taught me that to be honest, things get easier. True, I am a little more diplomatic than Karl, but he conveys simple truths well.

Assad, Carl’s partner, is an equally important character. This is an immigrant who is equal to Karl and is not afraid of a clash of cultures. He can make a lazy, frustrated, and exhausted detective go back to his job. At the same time, Assad has a lot of secrets. Readers will recognize them little by little.

The Q department series touches on many dark themes. But at the same time it has a lot of humor. The writer says that laughter gives the reader a breather when things get too tense. And he also helps to achieve understanding in times of disagreement, which are many not only in Denmark, but throughout the world. “They say the shortest distance between two people is a smile, but I think it’s laughter,” Jussi explains.

Five years ago, Danish MP Mereta Ljunggaard disappeared without a trace from a ferry between Denmark and Germany. The investigation decided that she accidentally fell overboard and drowned. However, Karl Mörk, head of the newly created “Q” department for the investigation of particularly important cases, does not agree with this conclusion. But who is involved in her fall: maybe brother Uffe, who lost the ability to speak in an accident, or a mysterious admirer who appeared shortly before her disappearance?

The «Q» department of the Copenhagen police was created to investigate the most important and complicated crimes. But why would they take on a case that was closed many years ago, and the culprit is in prison? And how did it end up on the desk of Vice Commissioner of Police Karl Mörk? Apparently, someone is very interested in ensuring that the brutal murder of a brother and sister on a summer vacation is not forgotten, and the former suspects come out of the shadows ten years later.

Department Q has a new case: a bottle was sent from Scotland to Danish detectives, which was thrown by the sea onto a deserted shore. It contained a message in Danish, written in… human blood. Little is left of the text, so Commissioner Karl Mörk and his assistants begin to decipher it. Gradually, a terrible story about kidnapped children is revealed before their eyes, crying out for help years later.

In Department Q, Karl Mörk and his colleagues fall into the hands of a long-standing unsolved case about the disappearance of Rita Nielsen, the owner of an elite escort agency.
