Roll call at a ‘decolonization’ class in Cuba

by

By Alen Lauzan in Mazzantini Magazine:

Let’s do a roll call before starting our class on decolonization: Alyosha Bello, Anatoly Perez, Andrei Coto, Annushka Garcia, Boris Rodriguez, Dasha Perez, Iosef Soto, Milenka Mora, Natacha Izquierdo, Svetlana Benitez, Vladimir Ochoa…

Vladimir is not here, Professor Karenina.

  1. The fad for Russian names (later replaced by the fad for cringe made-up names starting with Y) was worse than embarrassing. Nobody HAD to give a kid a Russian name, so those who did it were either after brownie points or so shallow and stupid that they copied what others were doing to be “fashionable.” Maybe a few were “true believer” types, but those were always a pretty small minority. Lord, the disgust.
