I heard they once had a battleship 'Robespierre'! Safin is pretty young, though, so it's interesting to know the French revolution is still acknowledged as an influence even now. Actually, a friend of mine, who used to get taken on holiday to Eastern Europe as a kid, has the middle name Karl, so some British kids get revolutionary names, too!
