From RFE/RL: Tajikistan's President Imomali Rakhmonov has ordered all civil registry offices to drop the Slavic "-ov" and "-ev" from the end of newborn babies' surnames, RFE/RL's Tajik Service reported. The announcement by the presidential press service came a week after Rakhmonov said he wanted to return to the traditional version of his name. Local media have since begun calling the president "Rakhmon."
Do you think Rakhmon will take over as the crazy leader in Central Asia? I so miss the Bashi.

Just wait for the re-veiling campaign.
Using veils for political reasons is SO soviet.
E, I'm the original 'Sovok', that's why.
If this is korenizatsia, then does this mean that Russia gets a room in the communal apartment along with all the other stuff?
There's always a room for Russia. She's the old crazy aunt that always needs a place to crash when she's had too much to drink.
