Edited to add: Tove, please, his name is being butchered enough as it is (actually his both names are): his first name is not Andy, not even Andre, it's Andrei.
that's so funny I was wondering if he really borrowed it for real!
and Windspirit, I'm sorry about his name, didn't mean any harm, as I'm well aware of his name, and re-writing of russian names in general, and I know Andy has nothing to do with it...it's just, me and my friend call one of our soccer heroes Andrey Shewchenko (of ac Milan) Andy Pandy, because we think it's really cute, so we started calling Griazev Andy too, but of course, I don't have to use my diary-vocabulary around the net. (but I'm pretty sure if you're to translate his name over to the western alphabet, it would be Andrej, with a j....)
