that's good information to know, but I feel like most of my original questions remain unanswered...

I asked if a Russian moved to America and get's American citizenship, or any other Anglophone country, would their new citizenship write their patronymic as their middle name or would their new citizenship not reflect the patronymic at all?

and if a Russian couple had a child in the United States or another Anglophone country, (and this I understand is totally discretionary from the parents) would they make the child's middle name to be the same as his otchestvo?
