We have the Accelerated Dragon, why not Scheveningen?

Just realized that the Sicilian Defence: French Variation is sort of a hyperaccelerated scheveningen, ignore the "Hyperaccelerated" in the title, the topic is just the opening above

The opening in the diagram is the Taimanov Sicilian.

It is? Game explorer didn't name it and I can't find Sicilian Defense: Taimanov Variation in the Opening book, but I did find Sicilian Defense: Paulsen Variation, Taimanov Variation, which is quite similiar, so I assume you're right

Normally I prefer the old-fashion Sicilian, but I guess 4... e6 might be a succesful variation.
