Although uncommonly used in the game I like authenticity. Russian names seem to be dominated by about 10 main names (which if you use the nameset that comes with the game Alexander would be greatly under used).

So I ventured through KHL rosters, russian premier league rosters, lists of notable russian scientists, inventors, etc. and just about every sport's roster that they have a national team for (thank you russia wikipedia!!) and created this first name set.

For the most part names are the western romanization and names that were originally in the database that better fit other ethnic backgrounds (or a girl name i found in the original database for russia) were purged.

And a very special thank you to St. Petersburg's own Ninotchka for going over the list for me and double checking my work!

A last name set will follow given time. (this took 6 hours)
