Marianna Sergeevna Bezsmertnaya, née Yurkevich (Template:Lang-ru; 2 May 1915 – 1991) was a Soviet and Russian geologist, mineralogist, petrographer and petrologist, candidate of geological and mineralogical sciences (1957), developer of new methods for diagnosing minerals, active participant and author of the discovery of a number of new minerals.[1] For 25 years, he has been a leading employee of the Moscow Institute of Mineralogy, Geochemistry and Crystal Chemistry of Rare Elements, the author of new methods for determining minerals. In the late 1950s — early 1960s, she re-checked and revised the mineralogical collection of the institute.
In 1979, in honor of Marianna Bezsmertnaya and her husband Vladimir Bezsmertny (1912-2002), a new mineral found in Kamchatka, bezsmertnovite,[2] was named in composition — a complex plumbotelluride of gold, copper, iron and silver,[3] the brightness of the color surpasses even gold.[4]: 113
