Title
The title references the Yin-Yang, but it is also composed of the names of the two of main protagonists. "Инь" is the Russian transliteration of the Chinese word transliterated in English as "Yin", and similarly "Ян" is for "Yang". However the "correct" translation would miss the puns with the names of the protagonists: Inga and Ian (Yan).
