Submariners
“We are, in a sense, like defendants with the death penalty looming. The menacing specter of fate is raising the gavel. For us submariners she has no half-measures - either we are acquitted, or we vanish without a trace.”
One hundred years have passed since “Submariners” was first published in Russian, yet it remains as relevant in 2023. Same way as a hundred years ago we live, drink, eat, fall in love, have fun and get sad. Same way we feel overwhelmed by the pace of technological progress. And just like torpedoman's mate Semyon Vlasov, we are witnessing the death throes of the Russian Empire.
