The objective is to find the (missing) personnel and retrieve them from the water. Taking into account the current weather conditions in the Northern Fleet area - as you know a human being cannot survive for more than 34 minutes at this temperature - very few hopes remain to find the men alive.

STORYLINE
A Russian nuclear-powered K-159 submarine sank in a fierce late summer storm in the Barents Sea on Saturday morning, killing at least two of the 10-member crew, the Defence Ministry said.
No weapons were aboard the 40-year-old submarine, which belonged to the Northern Fleet which has bases at Severomosk and Murmansk in northern Russia.
Rescue teams are working against the time now, as humans cannot survive the current water temperature of about 10 degrees Centigrade for more than thirty to forty minutes.
The sub's nuclear reactor was shut down at the time the vessel sank, about 0400 local time (0200 GMT), about three nautical miles northwest of Kildin Island, just before it would have headed into the Kola Bay, the Ministry said.
One sailor was rescued, the bodies of two dead crew members were found and the fate of seven others was unknown, the ministry added.
The K-159 had been decommissioned on July 16, 1989.
Just two days ago, on 28 August, the sub was being towed on four floating hulls from its base in the town of Gremikha to a plant in the town of Polarnye to be scrapped.
The hulls were ripped off the towed sub on Friday night during a fierce storm and the submarine sank in waters 170 meters (186 yards) deep, the ministry confirmed.
On 12 August, 2000, an explosion shook the Kursk nuclear submarine during exercises, sending the vessel to the Barents Sea floor.
All 118 men on board were killed in that tragedy, which shed light on the troubles of the Russian navy in the post-Soviet era.

???? LENIN First NUCLEAR Icebreaker (Budget Travel Russia) {Murmansk World's Largest Arctic City}
Budget Travel Russia #5
Lenin, the first nuclear icebreaker, maintains its dignity while quietly anchored in Murmansk world's largest Arctic city.
Operating for 30 years as a state-of-the-art icebreaker in the Soviet naval fleet, the Lenin became the first nuclear civilian ship in addition to being the first atomic icebreaker. This massive boat carved its path through the unforgiving waters and ice of the Arctic Ocean and the Barents Sea to create vital shipping lanes on the northern coast of the Soviet Union, now Russia.
Not surprisingly the Lenin is the city's most popular tourist site. Matt receives the tour to get a hands-on experience of what is a family-friendly activity in Murmansk.

STORYLINE:
A year after one of the world's most tragic submarine accidents, Russians are still grieving for the 118 sailors that went down with the Kursk in the Barents Sea.
On August 12 last year, during what were to be routine naval exercises, Northern Fleet authorities lost contact with the nuclear submarine.
Only days later did they admit an explosion had taken place on board, killing most of the submariners instantly, the rest probably dying a few hours later.
Aleksander Raube, a photographer, decided to open a museum dedicated to the crew of the Kursk.
The pictures recall happier times and milestones in the sailors' lives.
At one of Moscow's oldest churches dedicated to the patron saint of soldiers, more than a hundred Muscovites paid their respects to the crew on Saturday.
Memorial services are scheduled for Sunday in the northern sea port Videyaeva, the Kursk's home base.
Hundreds of relatives of the crew have already arrived at the closed town to pay their respects.

Russian NATO Base: Russia using former top secret NATO naval base in the Arctic
Russia is using a former top secret NATO base situated in the heart of the Arctic Circle, reports AFP. The Olavsvern Naval Base is hidden in a mountain near the Norwegian town of Tromso.
The base was sold in 2013 by Norway's then president Jens Stoltenberg - now the NATO Secretary General - to a Norwegian businessperson for just 5 million USD. Russian state energy giants Gazprom are now reportedly renting it as a research facility.
Former Norwegian Vice Admiral Einar Skorgen said the country had sold the only base worthy of the name that they had up there. It's pure madness.

Inverasdale School,Russian Arctic Convoys museum project,Scotland
Visit of Valentina Golysheva from Archangel, of the Institute of Philology and Intercultural Communications, The Department of English for Humanities Training, who came to Britain to launch her book, A Flashback to the Russsian Arctic Convoys, on HMS Belfast, on 8th February 2015. The book is dedicated to her father Georgy Golyshev, 1919-44, senior seaman, motor-mechanic of Northern Naval Fleet in Arkhangelsk, who lost his life at Kara Sea on August 12th 1944 in convoy BD-5. After the launch, Valentina travelled to Loch Ewe to see where the Convoys left for Archangel. George Milne, the Chairman of the Russian Arctic Convoys museum project, and also Francis and Mary, members of the project, helped to make the visit most interesting, showing Valentina and Elena Reid, Chairperson of the Highland-Russia Connection Charity, around the area.
For all who are interested in the second world war, and the Russian Arctic Convoys, there is so much to see in the Loch Ewe area, with many buildings very well preserved and unique exhibits to be seen in Inverasdale School, which is open to the public from May until October. The Arctic Convoys ran from 1941-45, with 811 merchant ships dispatched, 707 of which arrived safely, delivering 7411 aircraft, 4932 anti-tank guns and 5218 tanks, with a loss of 104 ships and nearly 3000 crew members. Described by Winston Churchill as The worst journey in the world . The Russian people were grateful for all the assistance received from the brave sailors who undertook these perilous journeys. They also were glad to send their gold to pay for these much-needed military supplies, as well as clothing,etc.
Russia: Exclusive footage of top-secret space laser pistol!
Ruptly was granted exclusive access to film what was one of the Soviet Union's most closely guarded secret weapons - laser guns for use in space - in Moscow, Friday. If you ever thought how to protect yourself from aliens when you are in space, this exclusive footage may suggest an answer. The weapons, however, were designed in the Cold War and are a reminder of a time when the weaponisation of space was verging on actuality.

Russia: Putin awards Presidential Prize to young artists on eve of Day of Worker
Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded the Head of State prize for children and youth for works in the fields of literature and art at the Kremlin in Moscow, Friday.
The laureates of the award for young artists were awarded to artist Vera Lagutenkova and actor Anton Shagin, as well as the director of the State Museum of Primorsky Region, Viktor Shalay. The laureates of the presidential award were awarded to film director Vladimir Grammatikov, animator Leonid Shvartsman and writer Anastasia Orlova.
SOT, Vladimir Putin, President of Russia (Russian): Good afternoon, dear friends, dear laureates. During all times, it was important to seek and find an artistic language that would be understandable and interesting to the younger generation and that would help them to realise the importance of such values as patriotism, justice, generosity, friendship and just decency.
SOT, Vladimir Putin, President of Russia (Russian): I want to agree with our most deserved laureate about the need to improve the intellectual property rights protection system and what exactly needs to be done is the transparency of the whole process.
SOT, Vladimir Putin, President of Russia (Russian): It is a great happiness for people who are engaged in these activities. It is really a great happiness, there is nothing, it seems to me, more enjoyable than being engaged in creativity. And if this creativity is combined with talent, then this brings pleasure not only to those who do it, but to millions of other people.
SOT Vladimir Putin, President of Russia (Russian): You have achieved impressive results and proved that they can be achieved only through hard work and enthusiasm for the business you serve. I sincerely thank you for the significant contribution to the development of the culture of Russia and I wish you new successes. Thank you for your attention.
