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.

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.
