Lesson Brief
Радио Свобода
Last week was the fifteenth anniversary of the sinking of the Russian submarine "Kursk." This vessel was the pride of the Russian navy, but two explosions who origins are still not totally know, destroyed the sub, killing everyone on board. There is still a mystery around the sinking and questions as to why the Russian leadership did not allow international help when trying to save those who originally survived the blast.
