» It is right when they say, «Who does not know its history, has no future.» We have a rich history, and Vladivostok in many special city — it has its own path and destiny. Despite the fact that he is young, it is difficult to overestimate the local development of submarine forces. This is the first combat sortie here, and, at one time, the largest submarine fleet in Vladivostok in the Far East. What many do not know that divers are always on duty, in war patrol. Each of the output, each dive — a feat. I was lucky enough to go on a diesel and nuclear submarines, only when they were at the pier. When I was on a diesel with First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, he said: «For everyone out there to reward, because it\’s a feat.» What is written in the book — is a very important work. Viktor set himself the task of writing about a person, and when we talked with him, he said that he set himself the task to find all the divers down to the sailors. Because it is important for the person who has served, is important for his family and friends, and ultimately important for all countries », — The head of the city.
The task of the author of «History of the Russian submarine forces in the Far East» was extensive to tell readers about the great men who served on submarines for the good of the motherland. As told by the author, Viktor Semyonov , A lot of people responded to his desire to release the second volume. We can thank the writer expressed the submarine headed Vladivostok Igor Pushkarev That indifferent attitude to the undertakings of the author, and helped get the book published.
