MCU (Russian) DMITRY KOLESNIKOV'S MOTHER: "My husband had said yesterday that he is relieving the President from his obligation [to lift all the bodies of sailors from Kursk]. When we were told that the submarine was just slightly damaged - that was one situation. But when we found out that half of the submarine does not exist, or big part of it does not exist and that two thirds of the crew has vanished - it's different situation. So, now we think it's necessary to lift the whole submarine. And then we may talk about something. We would rather wait for it than risk the lives of divers." 1.42 9.
