 Locative Bynames in Medieval Russia
There are a lot of misunderstandings about the proper formation and use of Russian locative bynames, that is, bynames that indicate a geographical provenance of the person.
Such geographically-based personal names (or more precisely, topographic anthroponyms) were certainly used in period in Russia, but not as commonly found in SCA names.
While the form is found in period documents, there is no convincing evidence that it was used as part of a personal name (or "anthroponym") in Russia and therefore its usage should be discouraged with Russian names.
