I can't but laugh...Every time i search "Marat" in Google, there is a great deal of entries about this "Marat Safin" who plays tennis! What a granny he had! Marat have only few fans, and rarely among women, so I'm suprised that Safin's grandmother had choose "Marat" to name his beloved little grandson. :D
Safin seems to be a last name from some Central Asian Republic, making part of former Soviet Union...I mean Uzbekistan. Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and so on. Maybe Safin believed that "Marat" was a Muslim name for people from there uses to be Muslim.
