Solovei Budemirovich
[edit]The ship was originally named Solovei Budemirovich (Соловей Будимирович) after Nightingale the Robber
was rightly tagged as requiring a reference. This statement confuses two different characters from old Russian epics, reflected in the bylina poems, both carrying the same forename, literally nightingale:
- Solovey-Razboynik (Солове́й-Разбо́йник) = Nightingale the Robber
- Solovey-Budimirovich (Соловей-Будимирович) = Nightingale the (Foreigner?), a rich merchant prince, who arrived by ship.
They are discussed, for example, in The heroic ballads of Russia and The Growth of Literature. These names are not, it seems, used for real people, so bearing in mind that the ship was dedicated to transport in northern/Arctic Russia, there can be little doubt about the connection. However I think that I have dealt with it reasonably. Davidships (talk) 23:15, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
