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?

I like that the older beings in Malazan have varying names (e.g. Anomandaris Purake). *NM* Ghavrel - 20/09/2010 02:20:15 AM 456 Views
