Trivia
His first name is a popular Russian name. Its exact meaning is lost in time, but it is a homonym to a Russian verb, meaning "to wrestle" or "to struggle".
His last name is made of the english word "thug" with a pair of typical Russian last name suffixes. The "-in" suffix means "belongs to X" (like in "son of X"). The "-ski" suffix is a noble one, meaning "from the X" (like in "from the land X"). The combination of these suffixes often means that there was someone known as "Thug", then he had son, who was known as "Thugin" and so was his other descendants, until one of them became noble and turned his last name to "Thuginski" because of reputational reasons.
