Writer Colin Thubron traveled through Siberia and met a woman in the Ulan Ude train station who told this story:
"'I was a Communist believer then. My parents were too. They called my sister Stalina because she was born the day Stalin died. Stalinika, Stalinushka! Then when Khrushchev came to power, they changed her name to Tatiania. Then when Khrushchev was disgraced they changed it back to Stalina; then when... Her passport became a mess.'"
