Rassvet
From the Metal Gear Wiki
Rassvet is an abandoned factory near OKB-754, seen in in Metal Gear Solid 3. It is the site of several ambushes and meeting points in the game.
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 also 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. ADAM showed up as the Ocelot commander, where he attempted to kill EVA although he had already emptied his revolver before he could do so. (It can later be inferred that he made this attempt in order to aid Snake in his mission.)
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."

[edit] Gameplay
[edit] Virtuous Mission
When entering the area, crawl through the entrance and up the grass on the right. If you are camouflaged well, you should be able to crawl from here without being spotted. Follow the wire fence all the way to the east of the area, and then slightly north to the patch of grass by the tree. From here, you should be able to tranquillize the guard. Don't move, because another guard will probably come to investigate. Tranquillize him as well.
Crawl to behind the building and then run to the ladder. Go up to the roof. Crawl across the roof to the southernmost side. When you get to the edge, there will be a room with crates in below, and beyond the open door is another guard. Once the guard is looking away, stand up and drop off the left. You don't have to worry about the guard hearing you, because the cutscene will be immediately triggered.
Once the cutscene finishes, simply leave the area the way to came. There are no guards this time.
[edit] Operation Snake Eater
See Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater
When you first enter the area, simply run to the room where you met Sokolov and leave it to trigger the cutscene. There are no guards.
Hide under the bed and as soon as you regain control. The door will be shot out by four Ocelot soldiers, so throw a Stun Grenade through once the door opens to knock them out. You may have to throw another, but do not throw more, as a third flash will trigger an alert. Once they are dispatched, crawl out and use the hatch EVA escaped. Do not climb onto the bed, as the soldiers may see through the window.
Underneath the floor, crawl to the second closest wire grating. You should be able to see a soldier patrolling through. Shoot him through the grate, and then shoot the second soldier when he comes to investigate. After they are both down, crawl out the open grate and carefully crawl round to the barrels outside, next to where the two soldiers fell. Watch for the sniper on the room - do not come out until he is standing next to the ladder, as, if he is looking south, he will see you no matter what your camo index. When he starts running towards the ladder, run and press yourself against the wall. Move towards the ladder, hugging the wall, and, when the soldier changes position again, quickly climb the ladder and shoot him. It is not recommended you try to CQC, as he does not stay in one place for very long and will easily see you.
Once this guard is dispatched, drop down from when you came and crawl through the grass to the south and then west, all the while staying close to the wire fence. The penultimate and final soldier should be crouching in the grass next to the south-west corner of the building, and standing several feet to the west of him, respectively.
After the cutscene, run through the gate to the north-east.

[edit] Trivia
- Translates from Russian as "Sunrise."
- Had EVA not shown up, Snake would have met ADAM at the factory, as Ocelot was ADAM.
- In the Virtuous Mission, if you kill Ocelot when he is knocked unconscious, you will get a GAME OVER/TIME PARADOX screen, and Colonel Campbell can be heard blasting Snake for causing a time paradox in the MG universe.
- For Operation Snake Eater, the Kerotan frog is underneath the stairs by the AK-47.
