RUSSIAN PRESIDENT PUTIN LAYS FLOWERS TO A MONUMENT IN KURSK.
Russian President Vladimir Putin lays flowers at the monument erected to commemorate the sailors of Kursk nuclear submarine, as he visits the city of Kursk, south of Moscow, August 19, 2003. Putin on Tuesday visited Kursk to mark the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Kursk against Nazi Germany in World War Two, the largest tank battle in history, where about 6,000 tanks and over 2 million troops were engaged.
In an interview with Kommersant published earlier this year, Danis Ishmuratov said he could not remember his father — but he thought of him constantly. “You can say that my father is an idol for me,” he told a reporter. “But I don't compare myself to my father. I think it's too early to compare.” , they were certain that rescuers would soon arrive. But although Western naval services offered Russia help almost right away, the Kremlin spurned such offers, fearing international embarrassment. Military officials also worried that a rescue operation conducted by Sweden or the United Kingdom — the most likely candidates to launch such an effort — would result in revelations about Russia's nuclear submarines.
