I've said it before, Israel Epstein is like the other Semen Hitler, when it comes to very respectable people who happen to have somewhat unfortunate names. ~~Semen Hitler was kinda screwed over by people's choice of romanization, though, he could just as easily have been called Semyon Gitler.~~
And Israel Epstein is also kinda like, yeah there's a strong connotation of "apartheid regime and rich nonce", but ultimately there are a lot of people with the forename Israel and the surname Epstein — such as the famous Hawaiian musician, and the fellow who co-discovered the first known oncogenic virus in humans alongside Yvonne Barr and Bert Achong.
You and CommieWolf are both wrong about the name lol.
Семён (pronounced syeh-MYON) is the Russian version of this name, see Semyon Budyonny for instance.
This guy however was Ukrainian so his name was Семен (pronounced seh-MEN), and it's correctly romanised to Semen.
Also his surname Гитлер would be romanised to Gitler had he been Russian, but as a Ukrainian it's romanised to Hitler due to how Г is pronounced in Ukrainian language.
RESULTS FOR TODAY'S BATTLE...
BOTH SIDES LOSE DUE TO A REALLY, REALLY OBVIOUS OVERSIGHT
