How to specify assignee in a task via API

Hi all! I can't figure out how to update a task and assign an executor to it. I'm trying to do:

issue.update(assignee={'name': 'German Kopylov'}'),

but I get the response:

response text = {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"assignee":"User 'German Kopylov' does not exist."}}.

At the same time, if I try to search for tasks and get her assignee, I get the answer:

GRM-310: XXXXXX : assignee: German Kopylov.

That is, such a name exists. What am I doing wrong?

@Michail Yatsko 'German Kopylov' seems to be a displayName try with his username, which will be something that he uses for login to jira.

@DPKJ Yes, but what if the login is through google? Use email, like: {'name': 'xx@gmail.com'}? With it I tried and got the same result.

@DPKJ And if I go to the site through google account? Then you need to specify the mail? I tried and it didn't work.

I am not sure about google account, we stopped using it.
