At "Frankoteca," historian and writer Boris Semyannikov will talk about the submariners of the Northern Fleet who launched attacks under the ice of the Arctic during the war. The lecture is dedicated to the anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. It will discuss how Soviet submarines protected sea routes to Murmansk and Arkhangelsk, preventing the enemy from closing access to Allied convoys. You will hear about torpedo attacks that changed the situation in the North and about the people who went to sea in conditions where a mistake cost the lives of the entire crew. Boris Semyannikov, a member of the Russian Geographical Society and the Union of Writers of Russia, will speak through the facts and fates of specific heroes from the Northern Fleet. The lecture will provide insight into how the submarine forces operated in the Arctic and why their actions were critical for the defense of the region. The meeting will take place on the second floor of the Cultural Center and is aimed at those interested in military history who want to learn about the lesser-known pages of the Northern Fleet.
