In the First World War, However, from the first day they joined the army, the first trouble they encountered was that many farmers didn't have surnames at that time. At that time, the communist youth league secretary or company commander in charge of registration undertook the work of naming the peasants who joined the army. Some follow old habits, and some adopt a large number of new surnames at will according to the appearance and characteristics of soldiers. Typical surnames at that time were belov (белов), Weselov (веселов) and smirnoff. At that time, because more and more people joined the army every day, people who joined the army on the same day or at the same time gave the same surname.
