How do Russian women change their surnames after marriage?

You're right, you can tell the gender of most Russians by their names!

After marriage, the woman usually takes her husband's surname (except a few, such as celebrities and stars: Mrs. Lenin-Krupskaya, Singer-Alapugacheva, etc.). ).

If you have studied Russian, this question is simple! The general rule is-ов,-ев,-ин becomes-ова,-ева,-ина. -\

The surnames of Belarus and Ukraine ending in-к,-ко,-вич are basically unchanged.
