Rassvet

Rassvet is an abandoned factory near OKB-754, seen in in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It is the site of several ambushes and meeting points in the game.

Virtuous Mission
This was the location in which Sokolov is being held captive by KGB guards. Snake was to retrieve him from the facility and flee with a recovery balloon. However, KGB guards attempted to ambush Snake, but Major Ocelot killed them and summoned the Ocelot Unit. His gun jammed however attempting fancy gunplay with his Makarov, giving Snake the chance to knock them all unconscious.

This was the rendezvous point for Naked Snake to meet with the KGB informant ADAM. ADAM never showed up, instead Snake met EVA, who saved him from a GRU ambush.

She provided Snake with new handguns and the scientist disguise, explaining Sokolov was held at the Granin Design Bureau and provided detailed instructions to reach the facility. The next morning, the Ocelot Unit showed up in a tense confrontation, and Snake had to eliminate them one by one.

After dispatching them, Snake discovered Ocelot captured EVA before she could escape, sporting a new SAA revolver aned holding a knife to her throat. However, Snake taunted him about the engraving on his weapon, upsetting Ocelot. He had not noticed he was out of ammunition and was caught off-guard failing to shoot at Snake, allowing EVA to break free and kick him off the factory platform.

After getting nearly run down by EVA's motorcycle, Ocelot fled the scene, vowing this isn't over. EVA tried to to gun him down but Snake stayed her hand, stating "he's still young."

Trivia

 * Translates from Russian as "Sunrise."
 * Had EVA not shown up, Snake would have met ADAM at the factory, as Ocelot was ADAM.
