A: He was called "Ozzie Rabbit", after a popular cartoon character of the time. He was also called "Oswaldskovich" because of his leftist leanings, or less often "Bugs"."

Rather than replacing your questions, could you add to it (in your original post). It would've been interesting to read what your previous questions were. Once the correct answer has been posted, edit your OP with the answer and then add your next question. Have your next question on top so we won't have to scroll down. It's just a thought, you of course don't have to do this.
