I know many Igors, normal guys and name in Russia
For example: Igor Rybakov
Why do you Americans distort popular Slavic names? o_O

Ivo is a Slav himself (South Slav, to be more precise) 😄. His name sounds Croatian. There are many Igors and Ivans in Croatia as well 😄. I'm sure he had no ill intent with that post ;) He was referring to a character from the Persona game. Please don't raid his home with your Wagner/Cossack buddies, I'm sure he's a cool guy!:ROFLMAO:

But on a serious note, today everyone is called a "Russian agent/Ivan" for having a more critical or different perspective regarding the war in Ukraine (or SMO, as you call it in Russia). I've noticed this in many YouTube comments.
Today, Slavic names such as Ivan (the Slavic version of John) have become synonymous with bad or negative connotations.
However, it's nothing new, they have always had this negative view of the "psychopathic vodka-addicted Russian Ivan" since the Cold War era.

He's referring to the character Igor from Persona.

Igor

Igor is a recurring important figure in the Persona series. His role is crucial in every Persona protagonist's journey. Megami Ibunroku Persona Megami Ibunroku Persona (Manga) Persona 2: Innocent Sin Persona 2: Eternal Punishment Persona: Tsumi to Batsu Persona 3 / FES / Portable / Reload...

Blame the Japanese who created that series.

I was just kidding. Ivan is a beautiful Slavic name. The diminutive is Vanya. John in Russian is Eugene, since the diminutive of this name is the consonant name Zhenya. We call them John. I do not know if you understand this trick or not, but Slavic names have two versions or even more. Let's say my full name is Alexander, which sounds like Alex in your world. The diminutive version of my name is Sasha. That's what my family and friends call me. There are also such versions as Sanyok, Sancho, Shurik, Sashen`ka, Sashulya, Sanyochek, etc. These are all diminutive versions of my full name Alexander. And that's what any friend can call me. Everyone decides for themselves how they feel comfortable. Other male and female names also have their own variations from one to many. It is also officially customary for us to address by first name and patronymic. Only his close people, relatives, and friends can call Vladimir Putin simply Vladimir (diminutive Vova). For everyone else, he is Vladimir Vladimirovich. We also have such concepts in addressing a person as two types of the word "You". In Russian, Ti or Vi. I can't even really explain it to you. It's like how you address a person simply by their first name or say mister before their first name. We just pronounce the word "You" differently depending on the type of communication. Official, friendly, junior with senior, etc. In short, English is as simple and primitive as possible. Few letters. There are 33 of them in the Russian alphabet. The only swear word is the word fuck. We laugh about it all the time. You watch an English movie and they say the word fuck 300 times in different interpretations. When I make a Russian movie, it will be 300 completely different words. We even have a special obscene language as a joke. You can't even imagine how Russians swear. This is a special super ability under the name "three-story swearing".

Somehow the name Richard is shortened to Dick. Not Rich, or Richie, Dick. Then you have William and Bill, which at least sound vaguely similar.

Theres also James and Jimmy, Bobby and Robert, etc etc. the reason we dont have multiple names for most is because we have more variations of names than anywhere else...we didnt decide to name our whole generatuon sun ten tu the 16th or rostinof rossie and rostinarf rossie.

Tim, Timmy, Timothy...you'll find that people go by their own chosen variation they prefer rather than be culture or tradition bound but the name is legally the same
