(b) Leninsky
(i) In Russian language, there are many places called
(A) Leninsky
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leninsky
(Leninsky (masculine), Leninskaya (feminine), or Leninskoye (neuter) )
or (B) Leninsk
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leninsk
(ii) What does "-sky" mean in Russian?
(A) Slavic name suffixes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavic_name_suffixes
("-ov" is sometimes spelled in English as "-off"/  "-sky" and "-ski" are regional variations -- depending on regions, that is)

Quote: "An example using an occupation is koval or kowal which means blacksmith. It is the root of the names Kowalsky, Kowalchuk, Kowalczyk, Kovalenko, Kovalyov, and Kovalev. All mean 'descendant of a blacksmith.'

* I choose this example, because a former (Jewish) boss of mine in Boston was surnamed Kowall.
* Polish-English dictionary:
Kowal (noun masculine): "smith, blacksmith"
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kowal
(B) Eastern Slavic naming custom
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Slavic_naming_customs

Quote: "In Russian, these are suffixes -ов (-ov), -ев (-yev) or -ский (-sky) meaning 'belonging to.' For example, Медведев (Medvedev) conveys (but not equal to) belonging to bear, Разумовский (Razumovsky) conveys (but not equal to) belonging to mind etc. Ukrainian and Belorussian languages use a few other suffixes which convey the same sense; generally these are suffixes -ко (-ko), -ук (-uk), and -ич (-ych [regional variations: -ich, -vich, -wicz]). For example, the sense of the surname Писаренко (Pisarenko) conveys (but not equal to) belonging to scribe, Ковальчук (Kovalchuk) - belonging to smith etc.

* Dmitry Medvedev is current prime minister -- and a former president -- of Russia.
