		This is annoying for anybody who knows that "Anna Petrovna" (name+patronymic) means only "Anna, daughter of Peter", and gives no clue as to the person's surname.
		Some have already been mentioned by previous customer reviewers, such as the listing of Anna Petrovna Kern (one of Pushkin's premarital lovers) and Anna Petrovna as two separate people in the index when they are actually one in the same person.
		To start with, there seems to be a real problem with patronymics, which shouldn't happen in a book about a Russian man! For example, Pushkin's lover, Anna Petrovna Kern, appears on the index both as "Kern, Anna Petrovna" and "Petrovna, Anna" - as if she were two different people!
