Azerbaijani Name
In the Republic of Azerbaijan, an Azerbaijani name typically consists of an ''ad'' (name), ''ata adı'' (patronymic), and ''soyad'' (surname), following Russian/Soviet-influenced naming customs. This article focuses on Azeri names as used in Azerbaijan; elsewhere, conventions for Azeri personal names may differ. Law Names are regulated by the Civil Code of Azerbaijan. Besides name and surname, patronymics are also in use, but mostly in legal documents, not in daily use. For example, while Ilham Aliyev is known by his name and surname, his full name is ''Ilham Haydar oghlu Aliyev'' (''oghlu'' means son). Likewise, for women the patronymic form ''qızı'' (meaning daughter, sometimes latinized as ''gyzy'') is used, as in Sakina Abbas qızı Aliyeva. It is prohibited to give insulting, sarcastic or non-gender names to children by law. Children automatically inherit their parents' surname upon registration. However, children may change their surname suffixes by age of 10 by their own w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Republic Of Azerbaijan
A republic () is a "state in which power rests with the people or their representatives; specifically a state without a monarchy" and also a "government, or system of government, of such a state."

Stalinist
Stalinism is the means of governing and Marxist-Leninist policies implemented in the Soviet Union from 1927 to 1953 by Joseph Stalin. It included the creation of a one-party totalitarian police state, rapid industrialization, the theory of socialism in one country, collectivization of agriculture, intensification of class conflict, a cult of personality, and subordination of the interests of foreign communist parties to those of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, deemed by Stalinism to be the leading vanguard party of communist revolution at the time. After Stalin's death and the Khrushchev thaw, de-Stalinization began in the 1950s and 1960s, which caused the influence of Stalin’s ideology begin to wane in the USSR.
