Vitte
Some time after Witte had become director he was being referred to privately as Monsieur Vite (Mr. Speedy), a play on his sumame, which in transliteration from the Cyrillic alphabet is Vitte. This was in derision of the low
speed of Russian trains, an average of twenty miles an hour
So in some languages Vitte means fast? Thanks
