My favorite thing about the show The Americans is that all the soviet people say each others full names in conversations all the time. Even dialogues.
Like,
"Arkady Ivanovich, the weather is nice today"
"It sure is, Oleg Igorevich Burov"
It's normal to use someone's first name and patronymic if you aren't their intimate. It's not normal to use their last name as well. So I'd probably call my colleague Grigori Sergeeich or Anna Pavlovna or whatever, but I'd call my friend just Anna or Anya. Basically, if you would use the formal 'you' (vui) you would also use the patronymic.

Heralds shall announce each of our comings and tell of the deeds we have done.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

Is zangief an accurate representation of Russians?

I don't actually know anything about him except he has an accent and a small pair of red underpants.

When translators take out the use of patronymics from Russian literature they are removing essential information about the nature of characters' relationships with each other and it is TERRIBLE, even if more palatable to english-speaking audiences. Similarly, sometimes important information is contained in the use of formal vs informal you, like when in C+P during the scene with Dunya and Svidrigailov and the gun she calls him the informal 'you' for a few sentences and the reader is suddenly like.....huh. Their relationship is closer than I had previously assumed it to be...

He's a younger german gentlemen.

If you get in the way of business he will bury you and everyone you love alive and build a bowling alley on top of your unfortunate graves

culturally i don't know if this is how it would be in a professional setting but it just feels right

I don't see that setting in Notifications.

He also fights bears
Or maybe he was gay and it was euphemism?
Who knows.
