/kloc-Many famous Russian figures in the 20th century were "Sicorschi". Why are there so few Sikorsky now?

In previous Chinese classes, when the teacher talked about some famous Russian writers, he would say their names, Tchaikovsky, ostrovsky and so on. At that time, I was young and didn't know much about this, so I thought the Russian name was particularly strange, and the word driver was added after it. At first, I didn't know what Sikorsky wrote, and I always thought that the driver was driving. Then I thought that many famous people in Russia were drivers, and there were many jokes at that time.

Later, as I grew older, I learned something about this. In fact, adding the word "Tian" at the back indicates an identity, which is unique to the nobility in the Russian era. But later, with the change of dynasties, the original nobles changed the unique base of later nobles in order to avoid getting angry.

Most of the great writers in the19th century were born in the nobility, so most of their surnames ended with "Tian". Then most people want to call each other by their surnames, and then they can show their noble origins and their identity.

We all know Tchaikovsky. In fact, his full name is Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, but we usually just say his last name. After the October Revolution, those original nobles declined, and then some Russian civilians and serfs could have their own surnames, so few people used this suffix to call their names after that. Most of those Russian nobles fled or were killed after Russia entered the Soviet Union, but no one dared to show their previous aristocratic status, so no one used this suffix.
