Here is a little bit about Jules Mazarini (Mazarin).

I think that Russian seed company named this variety after him because of a huge success of Alexandre Dumas' novels Twenty Years After and Le Vicomte de Bragelonne. In them, Mazarin is a major character and as all French Cardinals wears pink-red Cardinal mantle
