Vladimir Vasilyevich Bezsmertny (Russian: Влади́мир Васи́льевич Безсме́ртный; 6 May 1912 – 2002) was a Russian geologist, mineralogist, petrographer and petrologist, candidate of geological and mineralogical sciences, specialist in the field of ore deposits, associate professor at the Moscow Pedagogical Institute.[1]
In 1978, Vladimir Bezsmertny became one of the authors of the discovery of another new mineral, bilibinskite.[2] Four years later, this mineral became the title mineral for a new group of polymetallic tellurides called the bilibinskite group.[3]
In 1979, in honor of Vladimir Bezsmertny and his wife Marianna Bezsmertnaya (1915-1991), a new mineral found in Kamchatka, bezsmertnovite,[4] was named in composition — a complex plumbotelluride of gold, copper, iron and silver,[5] the brightness of the color surpasses even gold.[6]: 113
