On the night of 29-30 November, an explosion occurred on the Baikal-Amur Mainline in the Severomuysky Tunnel, named after Vladimir Bessolov, located in Buryatia (Russia).

Details: The source notes that this is actually the only major railway connection between Russia and China. And currently this route, which Russia uses, specifically for military supplies, is paralysed.
Hmm, I don’t see the naming connection here
Well, it might be some weird russian naming convention. I’ve understood that people have hard time reading Tolstoi and Dostojevsky and kind, because a single character in those books have up to seven names, because it’s part of russian culture. And apparently those nsmes are completely logical to every other character in the stories.
Then again, I’m not sophisticated enough to have read anything from them, but that’s what I’ve gathered from how other people speak about those books.
“The North-Baltic Sea canal, named after Kaiser Willhelm II”.
That is, “Severomuysky” is an adjective meaning “relating to the northern Muya mountain range”, geology not a person’s name. OTOH I can’t find anything about it being named after Bessolov. I can’t even find a Vladimir Bessolov, there’s a Vladimir Ivanovich Bessonov, politician checks out but – KPRF? From Rostov-on-Don? I don’t see anything about Buryatia much less the tunnel. Then there’s Volodomir Vasylyovych Bessonov… that actually might work. Played in the national football team of the USSR, doesn’t take much for a fan to name a tunnel after a football player.
