Pretty soon, you're going to be noticing that the Russian words you're carefully sounding out aren't quite as you would expect them, and, even more strangely, they change a bit from time to time - the endings of the words vary from stamp to stamp.
Because, in Russian, words that describe nouns will change their form depending on whether the noun is masculine, feminine, or neutral.
In Russian, there are more different endings to reflect the past tense of a verb, and sometimes the verb changes completely to show the future tense.

 Amazon.com: Schaum's Outline of Russian Grammar: Books: James S. Levine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
One of the difficulties with Russian grammar is remembering all the rules and applying them correctly.
Moreover, although all aspects of Russian grammar are covered thoroughly including the basics, Levine often assumes the reader already has a reasonable Russian vocabulary and has a fair grasp of Russian sentence structure.
The overall layout, from a "this is how we'll break down the grammar rules" perspective is also very easy to understand, without skimping on the complexity of certain issues like verb aspect, or uses of the conditional mood, or irregular case endings.

 Paul Goldschmidt's Dictionary of Russian Names - Grammar
In modern Russian, names consist of a GIVEN NAME (imia), a PATRONYMIC (otchestvo), and a SURNAME (familiia), but as Tumanova notes quite well: "Russian naming conventions for early period are first name (baptismal name, usually that of a Biblical saint), followed by the everyday or common first name, patronymic, and rarely a surname.
More precisely, Russian names started only as a given name, adding the patronymic around the 10th century, and finally the surname (from the patronymic constructions) only in the late 15th or early 16th century.
Russian names, as should be apparent, underwent a large number of transformations.
