ABSTRACT
Surname only (Сидоров, Мартынов, Образцова, . . .) Restricted to special areas such as education, where a teacher or lecturer might address a student in this manner. In post-primary and higher education it is usual in such cases for the pronoun Вы to be used. Officers may also address subordinates (privates) by their
colleagues address one another using either only the surname or only the patronymic form.
