Sergey Cubin Biography

Valeria Dikareva Sergey Shchedrin Hero from a submarine, who has been living with one disaster for 36 years in a closed space at a depth of 34 meters. People were dying in front of their eyes, water flooded the compartments, the fire destroyed everything that the water did not reach. Twenty people of the submarine crew, after a terrible accident, survived and got to the surface.

Sergei Kubinin, thanks to which officers and sailors survived, has been trying to cancel this sentence for 36 years. She collided with the ship's ship of the RFU 32 crew members. 26 people remained on board. Twenty of them survived thanks to the actions of Starpom Sergey Kubynin. For many years, the information was classified. The hero of Kybynin was called only a few years ago, and then unofficially.

His whole life was a continuation of that terrible day. He turned off the chief of staff, and I realized that now the eldest - you often talk about your feat? This is only interested in journalists and writers, there is no one else to tell. The boat went to sea, worked out the task. As always, for the same time on the same route. On the way back we entered the combat training area, a special ship measured our noise, and we gathered home.

In order to enter the main base of the Navy of Vladivostok, there is a swimming mode that the fleet commander claims. This regime was violated by operational attendants from observation posts. They gave us permission to enter, and the “refrigerator” to the trawler can withdraw the Bosphorus of Vostochny from the Strait of the Bosphorus. That is, we go as always, the visibility is complete, the evening, we have 12 people on the bridge, commanders, the best watch officer, and no one sees trawler.

They turned off the running lights and sneaked along the island. The commander, the boatswain stands, the navigator is standing, the political officer is standing-everyone is standing, looking forward and saw him literally somewhere a minute before the collision. Well, dark, without lights, without nothing. The commander Valery Alexandrovich Marango says: “What is it, is it or worth it?

Light, and there are yo-mine! He is already on the left side.

The commander only managed to give the steering team to give: “Right on board! And we have 8 combat torpedoes - 2.5 tons of nuclear explosives. There would be nothing left of the Russian Island, not to mention this “refrigerator” and our boat. It was then that we learned that the birthday of senior assistant Viktor Kurdyukov was celebrated on the trawler.

The captain was lying in the cabin, and the newborn himself steamed the whole process on the bridge. Only the third assistant was sober, he found us. And I had dinner last and sat in the second compartment. After 10 minutes, a narrow place, the boat’s combat readiness rises, I will declare the alarm and then spank in the cold for another 1.5 hours, I think I’ll sit for about five minutes.

And at this time it all happened. Our commander did not have time to completely slip through the RFS. If he had given a team at least 1 minute earlier, this would not have happened. And the trawler was slapping, so in the 6th compartment and cut through half the case. Big holes. All who were on the bridge, from there, shook off, as ripe pears fell out. At this time, I managed to jump out there.

Well, everything is already: it’s dark, everything is upside down. The mechanic fell directly into my feet. I push, jammed him from surprise, with us five more people, water rushes. Ultimately, 26 people turned out to be imprisoned. Well, the 6th compartment was immediately filled, there are electricians, they died instantly, the fifth compartment too-where the motorists are where the motorists are; And in the 4th, in my eyes-I look, they rotate, seal the bulkhead, and calmed down, all died after 5 minutes.

By this they saved the rest. With the nose of the rise - did you have the first thought: everything, the end? More precisely, the first thought was to seal the upper hand hatch. We did not succeed, because the pillar of water knocked down. We managed to lift the lower hatch, it saved us. The body of the boat leads from a very strong blow, and these are all the foster holes either wedges, or violates their tightness, or both.

And in our central post, sealing was completely disrupted. From all sides, the water under pressure rushes, nothing is heard, and after half an hour already knee -deep. We managed to go to the second compartment, the guys stewed the fire there just, they closed them. In general, the first impression was - we have no options. What to do if water comes, if a fire, how to use diving equipment - we all studied this.

That's when water collapsed at the central post. And then it was necessary to work, make decisions. The chief of staff of Karaklesov froze from responsibility, disconnected. He was still cracked so that he turned white. The flurry of responsibility finished him, he realized that he would be responsible for everything. And only shook his head. I ask him - he shakes his head.

White was lying, there was no well -being, he stopped talking. I realized that I am the eldest now. Photo: Sergey Shchedrin for 26 people we had 20 breathing apparatuses - is it true that you didn’t immediately get from the second compartment? Why didn't the crew that was there not want to let you in? And in general, the instruction allows. If they had not discovered, no one would condemn them.

There is a rule: if a fire is in the next compartment, then adjacent compartments may not be cut off. Another thing is that they could not do anything without us.Well, they are sitting an hour or two-three-four ... And then what? They had to lead, and even the compartment was not, he drowned, Lesha Sokolov, the officer, the watchman. We convinced them that everything was fine, the fire was extinguished, the central was stacked.

We were allowed, and we began to restore the connection. The guys have already given up emergency buoys that show the location of the sunken submarine. The RFU lifted 7 submariners from the water from the first to the place of the accident was the Mashuk rescue boat. Behind her is the Lada boat. The latter came the BS, in a different way-“Lenok”. By the way, we are still friends with him.

He was already deceived, reported a lie. Nevertheless, if not for him, we would have lost more people. When I heard that the votes are leading, my confidence appeared. We have already worked differently. As a result, 26 people turned out to be in the first compartment, and Ida’s breathing apparatus for all 20 pieces. We reported to the surface that we need another 10 more in case.

Votes and Cubin. In general, I was obliged to stay, the chief of staff of the fleet warned that I was leaving the last. But I was obliged to the last, and before me the penultimate is the mechanic. So, it would not be enough for him either. We hoped to the end. Well, in which case, the decision would be made without discussions who remains and who comes out.

Then the communication cable broke off, and this is a serious thing. There is no connection - no management. And I need to tell you at least something. I sent up two - combat communications commander Ivanov and Maltsev.
