In Russia, in all official documents name is written:
	Family_Name First_Name Middle_Name

So, my full name would be:
	Smirnov Andrey Andreevich

In short form, we usually put first name in head of family name (surname):
	Andrey Smirnov
This feels less official.

So, it's sometimes hard to find out what is what if you don't know 
Russian names well.
