Given names of Soviet origin appeared in the early history of the Soviet Union,[3] coinciding with the period of intensive word formation, both being part of the so-called "revolutionary transformation of the society" with the corresponding fashion of neologisms and acronyms,[4] which Richard Stites characterized as a utopian vision of creating a new reality by means of verbal imagery.[3] They constituted a notable part of the new Soviet phraseology.
Such names may be primarily found in Russian persons,[5] and sometimes in Belarusians and Ukrainians,[6] as well as in other minorities of the former USSR (e.g. Tatar[7]).
