<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 201356, member: 33"]This is because Russian does not have a letter equivalent to the letter H, and G is often used where we would use H. This sometimes happens with words that were originally from another language besides Russian. From the photograph, it appears that Gelya/Helya might have been from a part of the Soviet Union that was farther into eastern Asia? Her name is not a typical Russian name.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
