Could be, but it is easy to blame the dead.
One note: It is certainly not a "Russian" name, "Nelja". -Probably a Mixed marriage Muslim product of Soviet society.

No, 'Nelja' or 'Nelya' is the diminutive of 'Ninel', which was a popular name after the revolution - it's a reversal of 'Lenin'! A bit like 'Oktiabrina' (because of the October Revolution). 'Maltsev' (feminine: Maltseva) is a common Russian surname.
