During the Soviet Union, as we know, it was fashionable to give children unusual names that reflected the spirit of the era.
For example, Oktyabrina (in honor of the October Revolution), Vladlen (in honor of Vladimir Lenin), Kim (in honor of the Communist Youth International).
The name Myud/Myuda was also quite popular. They wanted to name Lyudmila Gurchenko this name, reports sport24.ru .
MUD is an abbreviation for the holiday International Youth Day.
This holiday was celebrated in 1915-45. At first it was celebrated on the first Sunday of September, and since 1932 – on September 1.
In the 1920s and 1930s, the holiday was so popular that children began to be named after it.
Famous bearers of this name include the artist Myud Mechev and the art historian Myud Yablonskaya.
The actress Lyudmila Gurchenko could also have been the bearer of this name.
