"She went to the bottom due to unnamed problems": a film about the filming of the submarine "Kursk" 20 years ago

November 11, 2020 34

More than 20 years have passed since Russia was shocked by the news of what happened to the Kursk submarine.

People of the middle and older generations remember very well how for several days in a row they literally did not leave TV screens in order to find out about the fate of the sailors and what could have happened in the Barents Sea. And for several days, the TV screens heard statements from representatives of the press service of the Russian Navy that "the situation is under control", "the sailors are knocking on the boat, giving signals to the rescuers." Then - newsthat shocked everyone: no one was saved, there are no survivors.

One of those who were at that time in the zone of the "rescue" operation was the correspondent Arkady Mamontov. It was he who went on the air every day with reports, which told about how the events unfolded.

After this news, many Russians considered themselves deceived. Deceived, because already at the time of filming these reports, the military themselves understood that there was no hope. The truth was not told. They didn’t want to, didn’t give the opportunity, or ... still, there was at least some hope.

From the report of August 12, 2000: "The submarine went to the bottom due to unnamed problems."

Then, the news host called the press service of the Navy "the press service of the IMF."

Arkady Mamontov, who visited the Murmansk region with a film crew, and specifically Vidyaevo 2000 years later, tells about the events of August 20, about how he reported from the Kursk disaster site.

        And where did you get the idea that I trust the president with his camarilla? For me, these are enemies of Russia, worse than any Americans with Turks. There are many versions of the Kursk nuclear submarine, all unpleasant, but I cannot choose something for myself, due to my incompetence and lack of information. About Pivovarov here, for example, his lies:
        So that he knows how to lie and distort masterfully.

        About lies it is understandable .... I mean the very version voiced in this film, if you watched about a torpedo that was filled with dirty air, can this version be true or not?

        Maybe, of course. I served as a warrant officer at about that time, then anything could be. I don't know how it is now.

    And then for the first time I began to respect him. Prior to that, he was perceived as a Yeltsin follower. They also deliberately tried to humiliate him and together with him the country. Lead to the conversation that Russia can no longer maintain its armed forces, and most importantly - nuclear weapons. That you need to cut weapons and bring observers to Russian facilities. This was constantly written in the foreign press. And they asked so sincerely - an old investigative technique. "Well, come on boy, open your soul." But the KGB taught the same approaches. And he answered briefly and clearly, cutting off all snot and cheap psychological approaches, showing that he understood everything - what he was taken to. In general, then I started to respect him for the first time.
    Well, as for Kursk, in my opinion, everything is simple - it was sunk by the cruiser Peter the Great by accident during a training exercise. Most likely Kursk began to surface because of an emergency torpedo and came under attack. Everything else is lyric.
    For the lost - eternal memory.

      But it turned out that all his "tricks" are to be a shameless liar, who does not know the words of honor and responsibility, who talks about what he needs at the moment. And then he happily forgets what was said.

Somehow it is not very clear about the priority of real salvation, if no one was saved, we will never know the secrets, for some reason they were doomed from the very beginning.

Why crush water in a mortar? The director of the CIA - at that time J. Tenet, after the incident, urgently landed in Moscow, "brought" money to solve the problem, practically all the issues of the families of the victims were resolved - apartments in convenient regions, the study of children in any universities, etc. The only condition was - to be silent, not to give any interviews. Everything.
Eternal memory to the guys!

  My son and I studied with my youngest (not in the same group - he was older, we met in the student club) with the son of one of the victims - they took a non-disclosure subscription from everyone they could ... He then left for Murmansk again - all mine he called for a submarine to serve on a contract.

A month before the tragedy, he was traveling in a compartment with the senior midshipman from the boat. He's in Kursk, pick up the replenishment, I'll go on.
He was very proud of his service on the nuclear submarine, he said that the crew was excellent, the commander was super.
Sorry guys.

A very unfortunate affair.
"Kursk" was cut on "Nerpa" (I hope this is no longer a military secret)
I had the honor to work there then.
Himself, personally did not cut, but passed by (as they say).
It's hard to look at this. Especially knowing about the whole story.
There, there was also an epic with the unloading of missiles ... Everything was not so simple ...
I guess I better keep quiet further ...

I think all people are hurt by the memory of this tragedy. 20 years have passed. It's time to show what we've learned. The best memory of submariners is the prevention of such a tragedy. The whole country watched with pain the operation to rescue the sailors. We must show the whole country what we have done so that the best sons remain intact. This will be the best memory.

And I remember the program "One Day in the Life ..." by Kirill Nabutov. In one of the issues, in May 2000, three months before the tragedy, the hero of the program was the commander of the Northern Fleet Popov. I well remember that program, the admiral's populist flirtation, "you see, I can do without a personal driver", etc. I was shocked by another fact, namely Popov's visit to the flagship of the Northern Fleet, the missile cruiser Peter the Great. After the caperang's report, Popov indulgently blurted out - Well ... let's go check the latrines ...
Has the fleet commander arrived on the flagship and went to check the latrines? I understand that there was a shooting, but it made a powerful impression on me. The latrines were checked ...
