how did you come up with your vg chartz name

[Comrade Tovya]

My family migrated from Russia to Germany prior to America, hence: Comrade

My first name is: Tovya

Hence: Comrade Tovya

I've used this handle since the days of the BBS back in the 80s. Apoparently it's not too original because I have found at least one other person who uses the same thing out there.
