Kursk memorial will be raised

Kursk memorial will be raised 06.04.2009
Murmansk Oblast Governor Dmitry Dmitriyenko has taken personal responsibility for raising of a monument over the sailors on Kursk.

The sail (tower) from the Northern Fleet submarine Kursk, which sank with 118 sailors in the Barents Sea in 2000, was recently found rusting at a scrap metal ground in Murmansk. The discovery has created much indignation amongst Russians.

Dmitry Dmitriyenko, the newly appointed Governor of Murmansk Oblast has now established a working group of representatives from the Murmansk town administration and the Northern Fleet Command, a press release from the regional government says.

The working group shall within a matter of days work out cost estimating documentation for two memorial projects – one by the Lake Semyonovskaya in Murmansk and one by the war memorial Alyosha, a 30-meter-tall statue of a soldier overlooking the city.
