Jānis Bērziņš-ZiemelisJan Antonovich Berzin – Even though ethnically a Latvian, he rose to prominence not as a Latvian village teacher, but as a Soviet revolutionary, journalist and diplomat, where the de facto language was Russian, thus it makes sense to use the Russified form, which many of the English-language books do. As far as I've checked, none of the English-language books refer to him as either Jānis Bērziņš or Jānis Bērziņš-Ziemelis, besides Ziemelis was his alias and not his second surname. Furthermore, most of the articles of Soviet Latvians are named this way. Turaids (talk) 16:19, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
