You are correct. "Nora & Kiko" appeal to the more "intellectual" among us who have the patience to read long Russian novels.
I had not heard her name might be Anastasya (only Nastya, Natasha, Nora, etc.). It's a pretty name and would fit her. I wish her and her man success, and I also realize they'll have to migrate out of their situation in order to blossom with their talents.
yes, his real name is anastasya I think nastya is simply the diminutive ...
His real name. Looks like a her to me.
