One from the vault

Illyushadarling asked back in 2009

But since I've wandered back into the MfU fandom, I have repeatedly seen two forms of Illya's patronymic: Nickovetch and Nicholaievitch (this with some variation in spelling). Being the curious soul I am, this of course raises questions... How did this... discrepancy in patronymic come about, what sources are fans using to support their own choice, etc.

I'm not looking for a right/wrong answer here, and do hope I've not touched on a sensitive topic. I'm quite sure everyone here who has a firm opinion about Illya's patronymic is just as convinced of being right as I am. But I'd love to hear what you think, and why you think it.

What say you, cousin?

    Do you think UNCLE was ahead of THRUSH in technology, vice versa or were they matched to a point in which neither could really triumph because of it?
