sgt. Jakob Pavlov, the man who was thought to have led the heroic defence of the apartment block "Pavlovs house" was a man not a woman. Pavlova is the feminine form of the Russian surname Pavlov. Therefore Dom Pavlova is referring to a woman not a man, it should simply be Dom Pavlov. It was also not known as Pavlovs house until after the battle...
Pavlov was a man, not a woman....

Where does it say Pavlova?
And what would you want the map and objectives to be called instead of Pavlov's house? "Some big-ass aprtment with Zab's house to the north, and the krogzkehrnjhgnjtgy (Forgive my spelling, my vision is augmented) ruins to the south-west"? :<

I'm probably mis-remembering my high school Russian, but IIRC Dom is feminine, and giving a house a name (properly) would require a feminine name.

I was going to mention this, the house would be feminine, seemingly like most inanimate things

the "a" added at the end is not referring to a gender. Rather, it is used to demonstrate that the house belongs to Pavlov. Think of it in this way: Дом Па́влова (Dom Pavlova) = Pavlov's House

Like The Commissar said, A is a masculine possessive suffix for words that end with a consonant. If the house was mine, it'd be Dom Nezzera. If the house was Nikita's, it would be Dom Nikity (with bl). Russian is all about suffixes. After learning that you might find some Russian names funny, like Dmitri Medvedev meaning "Dmitri of the bears".

Makes sense that a "house" would be feminine. After all, she's got Russians and Germans going in and out of her all the time...
Sorry. Terrible joke!

Actually he was a wholesome crossdresser and the only reason the house was never invaded was that the pure aryan soldiers were distracted by sexy thoughts.

I think it should be called "Pavlov house", not "Pavlov's house", since that guys name was Pavlov, not Pavlov's.
The guys above are right. The "a" at the end of the name indicates that the house is Pavlov's. If they thought that Pavlov was a woman (in which case she would be called Pavlova, that's where you are right), the correct description would have to be "Дом Павловы"/"Dom Pavlovy"

Some sort of dessert? It is the national dessert of Australia. It is originally from New Zealand apparently, but we take everything good from that country and call it ours.

And if that cake is from Ozland then there is surely a 6ft spider under that cake...Some sort of dessert? It is the national dessert of Australia. It is originally from New Zealand apparently, but we take everything good from that country and call it ours.
