    I knew it was a paternal name but didn’t have that context, thank you very much.

    Is my point actually correct? Would people say only the first letter of the otchestvo the same way americans do for their middle names? I haven’t encountered that and assumed not, but your input would be more valuable.

      Yes, they do, but afaik as initials of names, but full surname, like V. I. Ulyanov. No idea about only shortening the otchestwo. I’m Pole, we use somehat different way for middle-familiar address. Maybe let’s ask comrade @Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml?

        I have never seen such use (shortening only the patronim). You can shorten name and patronim (i.e. V.I. Lenin), or skip the patronim (V. Lenin, Vladimir Lenin). But shortening just the patronim is something I have not seen
