Russia's revolutionary names live on 100 years later

Revolda (Child of the Revolution), Mels (short for Marx-Engels-Lenin-Stalin), Engels and Stalina are just some of the names that live on a century later. This is why he named me Mels," says 67-year-old Mels Yeleussizov, president of a Kazakh ecology society. In neighbouring Kyrgyzstan, 28-year-old culture ministry spokesman Marlen Solyanoy also bears a name that combines Lenin with Marx.
