I wish authors wouldn't feel like they have to apologize whenever they go on a hiatus. They are creating art, not saving lives on a battlefield, so readers having to wait for an update a week or a month longer shouldn't be such a big deal. I hope the author is getting a lot of support and there aren't any hate comments directed their way.
From what I understand Zhenya to Yevgeny is what Ricky would be to Richard or Bobby to Robert, like a cuter version of the name that you would use for a child or a friend
Richard is Dicky (Dick) and William and Billy (Bill) ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
