As Durov said, exactly a year ago his assistant, now a citizen of France, joked that Pavel should add a space to his surname and it should become Du Rov – Du Rov. They laughed and filled out a specific application form, added a modified surname there.
They soon forgot this application, but it was approved and as a result the French passport was reissued as Du Rov. “When I think back on that day, I am grateful that my assistant’s creativity did not spill over into my Emirati passport. Otherwise, you would be reading this on the Al Dura Channel,” Pavel added.
