Imagine a severed piece of land, windswept, it is a village of a few streets, prefabricated houses, dormitories and barracks. And there began the service of the father. Places in hostels are not enough, and the young father and mother, eight months pregnant, lived in the barracks with the sailors conscripts. When the father in a few days, went to sea, one of the midshipmen brought the keys to her room in a separate apartment, and he moved into the barracks. Such was the relationship, such people. And in October I was born.
The tragic campaign was the first and last submarine Vladimir Shevtsov. The submarine was already on the way home. But it’s an indication to change course and head into the North Atlantic to participate in exercise “Ocean”.

the Rescued crew members were in the sanatorium. No one could say anything definite. Didn’t want to believe the worst, and mom decided that since there is no definite answer, the Pope may be alive. This hope lived in it for many years. Although, as they say, where to go from a submarine… But when I saw the movie and the photo of the Pope on the screen, then realized that waiting is useless.

“From the sailors on the submarine killed 18 people. And if the relatives of the officers after some time still learned about the fate of their husbands and sons, the families of the privates to the present day remained in the dark. Because conscripts were called up from remote villages, their loved ones, just didn’t know where and how to look for the information about the victims,” – said Marina Rusina.
