Sure. But bear in mind that the vast majority of Jordan's readers wouldn't know that because they're not Russian.


Still a lot of people though, and anyone of Russian descent might well know it or just people interested in Russia.
I wonder how many people here knew it?

Yeah, he once said that BlackAdder - 19/09/2010 08:47:05 PM 958 Views
But it's spelled Elena or Yelena in the Roman alphabet, surely. Legolas - 19/09/2010 04:14:46 PM 1070 Views

I like that the older beings in Malazan have varying names (e.g. Anomandaris Purake). *NM* Ghavrel - 20/09/2010 02:20:15 AM 422 Views
I was going to mention that one myself, too. Just rolls right off the tongue. Delicious. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 20/09/2010 06:13:10 AM 493 Views
