I had a feeling that Gadyukin sounded wrong, and sure enough. So I guess they were foiled by not having basic Russian knowledge.


It doesn't sound wrong, actually. It's a surname produced from the Russian word for "viper" (гадюка), which would make it unusual due to negative connotations, but not incorrect.


Ah, okay. Still, it's not a real surname, which caught them out.


After 3 years.


Or rather posts in Russian.
