    Question about non-Russian surnames

    I just made a post about somebody called Вассерман (Wassermann).
    What happens if a woman has this name? Does it remain in the existing form or does it change at all, if so how?

    Re: Question about non-Russian surnames

    It remains in the existing form and becomes indeclinable.
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.
