The following article appeared in a Russian publication seen
on the Internet at http://www.pravda.ru/main/2000/08/22/13407.html
On Saturday
on 12 August in the water area of Barents sea, in the zone of
the studies of northern fleet RF, did occur the incident, hardly
not led at the beginning of full-scale combat operations? to the
third world war. On this PRAVDE.ru it became known from the Kremlin
sources. Several days peace/world did hang on the hairspring?
one incorrect political motion could lead to the exchange of nuclear
strikes.
On 12 August
of hydroacoustics of the vessels of northern fleet they registered
in the Barents sea three powerful underwater explosions. Upon
the inspection/examination of point of impact the atomic rocket
cruiser of?Petr is great? it revealed/detected the nuclear powered
submarine of?Kursk lying/horizontal on the bottom?, and so another
submarine. Since the disposition of the submarines, which participated
in the studies of northern fleet, was known, object was identified
as foreign submarine, supposedly? American.
Three explosions,
fixed by sonarmen, they spoke about the possibility of torpedo
attack, by which underwent?Kursk?.
?Petr is great?
immediately it reported that happening into the staff of studies
and inquired indications. The staff of fleet re-addressed the
report of seamen into the staff VMF, and from there to the Minister/Secretary
of Defense. The marshal of the Sergeys informed about that happening
by the morning of the thirteenth President.
They confirm
our sources: Vladimir Putin from the very beginning was up to
date in proceeding in the Barents sea, he knew about the death
of?Kurska?. Taking into account seriousness of the prevailing
position (sinking by the foreign submarine of Russian atomic underwater
rocket cruiser?
incident sufficient
for the beginning of combat operations), was examined the version
of the immediate return of the President to Moscow, to the primary
command post. However, this version was rejected? the Sochi residence
of the head of state is equipped not worse than Kremlin offices,
from Sochi fishings it could just as effectively lead the country.
Furthermore,
appearance fishing on the primary command post in Moscow would
indicate explicit military preparations from the side of Russia.
With the fact that in the extraordinary nature of situation they
were aware both in Russia and in THE USA.
By the way
to say, by the same reasons is explained the fact that whereas
fishings it did not fly out during the first days into Murmansk
or North Sea. **time-out** commander-in-chief simple not have
right leave completely equip means special-connection residence.
Why under the suspicion did primordial fall precisely American
side, PRAVDE.ru explain could not? it remains only to surmise
about this.
Obviously,
to that there are proofs, which, however, will be hardly sometimes
promulgated. THE SMI remains to be satisfied only by indirect?ulikami?:
as an example, today western press did extend the information
of the special services of Norway about the fact that the American
atomic submarine of?Mempyuis? it visited for the repair into the
Norwegian port.
Fortunately, incident in the Barents sea it was possible to solve
politically. Understanding to?reshit' cause of peace? was achieved/reached
in the course of telephone conversation Vladimir Fisyuing and
Billa of Clinton. The conversation of the Presidents lasted entire
25 minutes, about its content THE SMI it was not reported nothing.
There remains only one question, if we discard valid emotions
apropos of the death of the crew of?Kurska?: about which they
did agree fishings and Clinton? And as Russia will be compensated
the death of the submarine with cost/value into one billion dollars?
