April 7 - Day of Remembrance of the Fallen Submariners

One of the resting places of the sailors who died on the Kursk APRK (St. Petersburg)

Today, April 7, is a special date in the calendar of memorable dates in Russia. It is dedicated to the memory of submariners who died while performing tasks, including combat ones. The Day of Remembrance of the dead submariners was designated on the calendar on the basis of the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy in December 1995.

April 7 was not chosen by chance as such a date. It was on this day 33 years ago - April 7, 1989 - that the death of the Soviet nuclear submarine Komsomolets took place. This is the only submarine of Project 685 Fin. In 1985, the nuclear submarine "Komsomolets" set an absolute record for the depth of immersion among submarines for the entire history. The depth exceeded 1 km.

According to the official version, the death of the Komsomolets submarine, which was part of the 6th Division 1 flotilla SF of the USSR Navy, occurred as a result of a fire that broke out in two compartments. The flames eventually led to problems with the main ballast tanks. And the submarine began to fill with sea water. At that moment, Komsomolets was in the Norwegian Sea at a depth of about 380 m.

Data regarding the cause of the fire vary to this day. There has been speculation both about the negligence of the crew members and about "technical problems" that led to the fire.

On April 7, Russia remembers all the dead submariners, including the crew of the Kursk APRK, which sank in the summer of 2000. The cause of that catastrophe is also more than vague, despite the work of numerous commissions, investigation teams and other bodies and departments. I would like to express the hope that in the near future the true cause of the disaster with the Kursk submarine will be announced at the highest level.

Eternal memory to the dead sailors-submariners.

Eternal memory, you brothers ....

[Tatyana]

Even in the navy, not everyone can mentally serve on a submarine! To do this, you need to have a special warehouse of your own courage.

Eternal memory to the fallen submariners!

[dmi.pris1]

Let's remember our dead sailors. They died at their combat post.

[Egoza]

Sleep well, sea wolves. We always remember about you.

Eternal memory to the fallen submariners!

Save our souls!
Hurry to us!
Hear us on land
Our SOS is getting fainter
off the beaten track.
And horror cuts souls
In half…

If they wanted to voice it, they would have voiced it long ago. Another 20 ago.

Now they could voice it, but who will be responsible for the "official version" Eternal memory to the heroes of the submariners!

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Everlasting memory! We remember and mourn

[Aerodrome]

Maybe it's time to tell the truth? and about "flying to the moon" too ... that will squirm the Americans ...

Yes, how can you voice it, if the threads of betrayal lead up? It takes another 50 years at least.

[Laksamana besar]

The patriarch served a prayer service,
Mourning was declared on the planet.
Pain in my heart and tears in my eyes
The best countries are leaving children ...

The sky opened wide,
The wide Milky Way shone
The farewell beep became a mournful song,
An underwater ship going to sink.

[Boa kaa]

Quote: Laksamana Besar

The farewell beep became a mournful song,
An underwater ship going to sink.

Jarred ...
- Not a horn, but a howler. And it cuts to the bone...
- We go out to sea to protect and protect our Motherland, and not to drown ...
But anything can happen ... Eternal memory to those who did not return to their native base, who remained forever young ...

REMEMBER. To our RUSSIAN submariners - The number of dives is equal to the number of ascents! WORK!

[silinigo_2]

No matter what you say .. Or what you don’t say .. I just .. Everyone has "THE OWN TRENCH". And our submariners calmly and with "feeling, sense, with arrangement" perform their tasks. Grieve? -NO. REMEMBER - YES. This is OUR work.

[Roust]

... Our submarine, missile, our nuclear fleet
Paying tribute to fallen heroes! ... (from the song "Compartment 9").
To all submariners: Thank you, Brothers!

You remember the calendar of events. When the Norwegians offered theirs.
assistance and when they were able to provide it. Please do not confuse a trench with a grave. Already insolent to shamelessness! There is no limit to the hypocrisy of even the "mourners", even those "not mourning from the trenches".

Low bow and Eternal memory to the Heroes.

[Commodore Arctic]

Memorial "To the sailors-submariners who died in peacetime" (the cabin of the nuclear submarine "Kursk") was installed in my city of Murmansk. When he served, he was often the commander of the parade crew on this mourning day!

The cabin of the nuclear submarine "Kursk", which sank in the Barents Sea, became part of the memorial complex "To the sailors who died in peacetime", installed near the Church of the Savior on the Waters.
The opening of the monument took place on July 26, 2009 on the Day of the Navy.
The nuclear submarine Kursk sank in the Barents Sea on August 12, 2000 after an explosion on board in preparation for a simulated torpedo attack. All 118 people on board were killed.
In 2001, as a result of a large-scale international operation, the submarine was lifted from the bottom of the sea, delivered to the plant in the village of Roslyakovo, from where it was transported to the city of Snezhnogorsk for further disposal. The only thing that was left and preserved was the cabin of the submarine.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

the depth took revenge on the nuclear submarine Komsomolets for its conquest (mysticism) .... and yes, there are a lot of tragedies in the submarine. however, to die alone, go to the bottom being alive ... this is probably the most tragic death ... in 1986 a series of tragedies in the USSR followed one after another, in October 1985 it was replenished with one more, the death of ARPKSN K-219, in the last dive of K- 219 went with the only living crew member, he was dying alone while communicating with his comrades in communication ... it's scary ..

[Mouse]

Alive let the memory remain
About those who died like a hero.
Their glory rushes through the world
Through the fierce cold, rain and heat.
On the Day of Remembrance of the dead submariners
Silent sadness will make you think
About the fact that among the great deeds
Sometimes everyone forgets
It is not easy to serve the motherland,
And sometimes life comes at a price...
Everlasting memory...

Let's remember the brothers without clinking glasses!

[aszzz888]

Eternal memory to the dead,

and Eternal Glory to the submariners!

[Essex62]

I grieve for all the dead submariners. And with them for my cousin, who died along with the nuclear submarine Komsomolets. Eternal memory to you brother.

[Lisiy Prapor]

Hope further. If the true reason is announced, GDP will go down the drain.

[SOBA4TACTICMOSCOW]

There is a good documentary on this tragedy, you can watch it on YouTube, the channel is called "native council of workers"

[your vsr 66-67]

Eternal memory to the dead submariners!
For divers, every exit to the sea and every dive is already a feat! Not every person will be able to cross the line beyond which death is quite possible!

[Enoch]

Eternal Memory and the Kingdom of Heaven to the submariners from the Kursk and to all those who laid down their souls for our Russia! The death of the Kursk is a secret with seven seals, someday it will come true. Happy Feast of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos!

Tell your loved one

Alexander Weiss

I dedicated this poem to the K-8 submariners of the Northern Fleet.
16 years after it was written, it came true on the Kursk ...

Keep, dear, talisman -
The son will grow up, you will tell him,
What was his father mariman
And show me my picture.

Let the dolphin know that water
It absorbs only the fate of the strong.
But I do not want his trouble,
Someday I overtook in the waters of miles.

I'll put the talisman in a letter,
They will give it to you, earthly.
One more time to snuggle up to you, but -
Fate is cut for us differently.

Let it not be a souvenir, but just like that,
I wove it from leather, you asked.
I'm sorry I can't see how...,
But I want you to wear it.

We'd rather not be found
We would live forever in the sea.
Than to rot in the damp earth,
Remind me of grief.

After all, you have already taken a sip of salt -
Parting, waiting, a moment of goodbye.
Another would not want your share:
The wife of a submariner - some experiences.

Forgive me for my broken life
Nobody gives you flowers now.
It will be hard for you, but you hold on,
Don't let this death age your face.

I write a letter in the dark, with a pencil,
So that the sea water does not wash away.
And death in the compartment waves its broadsword,
We'll last two more days, and - on the soap!
Goodbye!
PS Five hundred grams would be on the chest and fire,
Yes, it would be enough, perhaps, and a hundred.
Mascot, letter and me
Please tell your loved one...

The submarine went into the depths,
The hull is mangled by the elements ...
Eternal memory to you, God rest your souls.

Everlasting memory!
