Victor Popov
Victor Nikolaevich Popov (Russian: Ви́ктор Никола́евич Попо́в; 27 October 1937 – 16 April 1994) was a Russian theoretical physicist known for his contribution to the quantization of non-abelian gauge fields. His work with Ludvig Faddeev on that subject introduced the fundamental objects now known as Faddeev–Popov ghosts.

gollark: I can do this manually in about 2 minutes.
gollark: Anyway, I'm explaining it badly go read a monad tutorial.
gollark: This is equivalent to `>>=`, which is called bind by the way.
gollark: Now, if you `join` that, it unnests it.
gollark: If you do `fmap (\x -> Just x) (Just 4)`, then it will give you a nested `Maybe`.
