Bliznyuk), conducts field tests of the possibility of using ballistic rockets in SLO from under the ice.
In 1986, for services to the Motherland, E. D. Chernov is awarded the Order of the October Revolution. In the same year, 1986, Evgeny Dmitrievich was appointed to the post of deputy chief for scientific and educational work at the Naval Academy named after N.G. Kuznetsova. In 1988, he defended his thesis on the topic “Ensuring the secrecy of actions of submarines by the crew”; until 1990, he was deputy head of the academy.
After the tragic death of the nuclear submarine "K-278" "Komsomolets" 7 in April in the Norwegian Sea. Chernov led the study of the causes and circumstances of her death, leading a commission consisting of competent submariners from the Naval Academy, who came to conclusions that did not correspond to the official version of the Navy Commander-in-Chief. In a document based on the findings of the commission, proposals were made for amending the “Ship's charter” and the “Guide to the fight for survivability”. The Commission conducted a detailed analysis of the actions of the personnel of the Komsomolets nuclear submarine in the struggle for the survivability of the submarine, revealing the initial numerous violations of the regulations when organizing the ship’s military service and 1989 (second crew) by responsible persons.
E.D. Chernov spoke in the media criticizing the official position and assessing the causes and circumstances of the death of Komsomolets. According to the actual findings of the commission of the Naval Academy in 1991, the Chief Military Prosecutor’s Office resumed the preliminary investigation, which ended in 1998 and reached similar conclusions. But the case was pushed into a “dusty corner” due to the impact on the prosecutor’s office of those who, trying to evade criminal responsibility, came up with more and more delusional ideas and prerequisites for the disaster during the investigation. The truth was never officially communicated to the naval personnel.
As a man of honor, Yevgeny Dmitrievich could not disregard these negative phenomena in the fleet. He had the courage to enter into confrontation with the commander-in-chief of the Navy, VN Chernovin, and his numerous assistants in defending his point of view on this issue, as a result of which he fell into disgrace and in the 1990 was dismissed in the Navy reserve.
From that moment on, Evgeny Dmitrievich Chernov devoted himself to the very important task of fighting for the true state of affairs in the fleet in terms of failure-freeness in organizing the combat service of submarines and their crews.
He defended to the end the honest name of the officers who fell under the "distribution" of the wicked autocrats-chiefs.
In 1992, he organized and headed on a volunteer basis the “K-278” nuclear submarine Memory Society “Komsomolets”. The society was created to assist the needy parents and widows who died at sea during the cold war and in the post-war period of the naval submariners, as well as the submariners themselves, who received health damage in accidents and catastrophes.
In 2002, the book of E.D. Chernov "Secrets of underwater disasters" (Publishing House "Neva"). This impartial book for “interested persons” narrated about three catastrophes of nuclear submarines.
“K-429” in 1983 year: the one that E. D. Chernov transferred under the ice of the Arctic to the Pacific Fleet, “K-219” in 1986, and “K-278” in 1989. This book is one of the first attempts honestly and impartially, overcoming the barrier of corporate silence of the truth, to familiarize the fleet and society with the persistent prerequisites and causes of accidents and disasters of Soviet and Russian submarines.
Evgeny Dmitrievich Chernov devoted his whole life to serving his Motherland selflessly, he was an example of valor, honor and courage for the officer corps of the Navy. There was and will remain in our heart a real patriot and a real man with a capital letter!
Eternal memory to you, Evgeny Dmitrievich!

Shared hardships with the crew, shared wins with him,
He was our everything!
Yes, time is cruel. Thins thin
But the memory of oblivion is not given to kill.
And the sailors of other generations, he will shine a star of the polar!
