revolution_frApparently, according to some accounts, the narky tennis player Marat Safin, who lost at Wimbledon today, was named after Jean-Paul Marat by his grandmother.
Safin himself says he thinks the name's Muslim, but it isn't, is it (?). In the interview about it, he sounds clueless, so I'm hoping it was a Russian communist grandmother keeping the revolutionary flame alive (unfortunately, on someone too stupid to appreciate it).
