You come on this BB and state that the media is lying in one case, yet believable when you chose to beleive it.
I never believe media, I always try to find several sources for any information. But in this case I quote Kolesnikov's Father, who proved what Navy officials said. It's not media. Also, JFYI, Kolesnikovs didn't join the last lawsuit started by some attorney hungry for media attention, who said the "real cause of Kursk accident still isn't disclosed".
Believe me, we live in a free country, and media will catch every word Kolesnikov's family will say. If even your "history-channel" mock-up navy officers were allowed to speak - then noone can stop a pensioneer from stating his opinion. From an old kiddy "poem" about an old man throwing a hand-grenade into a window of a Party office: "Grand-dad is old, and he doesn't give a damn" (Dedushka stariy, yemu vsyo ravno).
I have to say again: our countries are different culturaly and traditionaly. But we are not bug-eyed monsters. There are always other reasons for our behaviour then "Russians are blood-hungry savages who usually want to kill everyone in sight".
