I recently came across the name Zenouska (I'm guessing it's a Russian pet name) and would like to know how it is pronounced.

Also, I was reading a book about the Romanov's (the family of Nikolai II, in particular) and I came to a part about the Grand Duchess Anastasia and how her aunt's pet name for her was Malenkaya (I can't remember how it was spelt so forgive me if I've misspelt it.). Can someone tell me, is Malenkaya an actual name or is it just a term of endearment?

Thank you,

Caitrín
