I.V. Pugach beard

  • TO Russia, where I.V. Pugach has trademarked his beard, "the type with no sideburns that covers just the chin and the patch above the upper lip". Mr Pugach says his beard is exclusive to him and a "racial attribute" of the Russian people.

  • A libel suit related to a trademarked beard recently prevented a prominent Russian mathematician from travelling abroad for a conference. Mikhail Verbitsky was sued years ago by a man named I.V.
