Also to the human names person: with human names, it offends a lot less people. If you say "Russia killed America," you are talking about people's homes and homelands. If you say "Ivan killed Alfred," that could be anybody. It can still be considered somewhat offensive, but not nearly as much as saying a country killed another country. Human names give the connotation of being human; nation names cause too much confusion and offense.
