Biography
Kazakov Rimma Fedorovna was born in Sevastopol on January 27, 1932. Initially, the girl was called Ramo, which means "Revolution, Electrification, World October". But at the age of twenty, she decided to take a more harmonious name of Rimma. Father of the future poetess, Fyodor Lazarevich, was a military personnel, and his mother, Sophia Alexandrovna Schulman, worked on the post of secretary-typist.
Rimma Kazakov held his childhood years, mainly in Belarus, including difficult wartime, and then her family moved to Leningrad. There, the girl entered the Leningrad State University (at the Historical Faculty), and at the end of study received the distribution to the Far East.
It was then that Kazakov, which Mom since childhood called "Romusi", decided to change the name. As the poetess later recognized, her parents were a bit "shifted" communists, and therefore considered the Abbreviation of Ramo quite a suitable name for her daughter.

There, the graduate of the Pedi Institute said that she had a good revolutionary name, and change it for him. But Kazakov did not give up. In the statement, she wrote that Ramo is an abbreviation of the SSPS, CPC and the like, and not a human name. As a result, the registry offices still surrendered under the pressure of a young teacher and allowed her to become Roman.
