...I'm not starting an argument, but re: the names, that was exactly what I was saying. There's no shame in not knowing Nikolai II's children, as they weren't exactly politically or historically interesting or important in the great scheme of things. I specifically study Russian language and society and generally study European culture and history as part of my course, so I kind of know these things already. Besides, I think it's a bit unfair to paint every "immigrant" student with the same brush and label them as you have in opposition to, for example, 'hard working and talented' American students. I'll refrain from repeating what some ignorant people have to say on such matters.

None the lessss... I think we're going to have to agree to differ and leave it at that. This was about names, not politics... although I have an unfortunate opinion to be heavy handed and clueless on these matters and bring them up where not needed or wanted. My apologies for that fact.
