As the ashes of World War 2 settled, the Soviet Union sought to cement itself as a Naval superpower. In 1948, it unveiled its maritime tour de force: the Sverdlov-class cruisers.
These cutting-edge warships emerged on the horizon, bristling with an arsenal to command the seas: twelve 152-millimeter B-38 guns thundered in unison, thirty-two 37-millimeter anti-aircraft guns swiveled to track the sky, and ten torpedo tubes lay in wait beneath the waves. Their ‘Big Net’ air search radars, eyes piercing through fog and storm, coupled with a sleek hull cutting through the water at a swift 33 knots, sent a clear message of challenge across the waters to NATO. In this display of might, they stood toe-to-toe with, if not shadowing, the greatest cruisers from the West.
The last of its kind, Murmansk carried the legacy of the Northern Fleet’s dominance, casting a long shadow across the Norwegian Sea. For years, the Sverdlov-class cruisers patrolled the waters unchallenged, masters of their domain.
As the Soviet Union’s echo dwindled into history, Murmansk faced an unparalleled challenge. Fierce and unforgiving, a relentless storm hurled it into the cold clutches of a Norwegian fjord where she was left grounded and forsaken. That was, however, until hints of a mysterious secret substance concealed within its hull began to leak out – one linked to the infamously deadly Russian Federal Security Service…

A secret police secret? 😱
How many things a need to pay to watch these days??????
Batman does a good voice over
It's was all on purpose. After WW2 u get league of nations " UN" the one world government. They needed another bad guy. " Stalin" then u get NATO. " The one world government policing force" that can use war to invade any country.
russian shit isnt that interesting at all
Wasn't this the U.S. cruiser that was gifted to the Soviets?
The video just starts,no opening ,no nothing ,one dark channel is bleeding in to another ,cant tell them apart ,,the channel is becoming war crazy
Seems like an incomplete accounting in that you don't mention what happened to all her 15 'sister' ships. As it turns out they were all scrapped or used as museum displays, and it seems none saw real action.
I find that if you skip ahead about 2/3 of the way you actually get to what’s important.
To say this was fascinating would be an understatement.
I have lost all faith in this channel ; the seemingly random selection of bits of b&w footage, bearing little/no relation to the narrator's script, clearly different ships purported to be the same.
SMH
The story doesn't make it clear whether the remains of the ship were in fact buried or if all parts were eventually removed.
I stopped by the wreck of the Murmansk back when it was in Soroya. Quite impressive for just a "cruiser".

You still don't learn anything but that's about the point where the video hits the subject matter. For maybe 45 seconds.
Fkn lame, dude.
Why does your editor have such hard time differentiating an Omaha-class from the Sverdlov-class?
Is the video AI generated?
Did your overlords order you to only use the metric system?
Half life of 132 days I bet you meant years or decades
With a half-life of 138 days after 20 years there would be almost nothing left of the pallidum.
Photos are included of both the 1955 Sverdlov class, swept bow, two stack cruiser with triple gun turrets and significant radars, and the former USS Milwaukee which was christened in 1917 but given to the Soviets during WWII, not the more upright bow, four smokers which were not seen in vessels made during and after WWII, and the rather weanie armaments.
The ship was quite big. I find it fascinating how much was built after the war and how much Japanese and German stuff was used as target practice especially when the US used Nukes to destroy all them ships. I’m just sayin. Haha!
Polonium-210 does have a relatively short half-life of 138 days. It decays to stable lead isotope by emitting an alpha particle. It is extremely radiotoxic because of the alpha-particles. But it has to be internalized eg. drunk in a tea as by Alexander Litvinenko. As such it poses a risk more to fish and those who eat fish. The Soviets might have used it eg for batteries. But they would have had much better options. There is no reason for them not to have removed it from the ship prior to selling or giving it away for scrap.
The levies that were built around the ship for the disassembly operation can just be made out in a time lapse view of the spot on Google Earth
They launched the ships in 1948, which supposedly sent a message to NATO. But NATO wasn't formed until 1949.
Putin has shown the world that the conventional Russian military of today is no match against anyone. NATO is 32 nations strong. No one will win in any nuclear war, so hopefully mankind can finally learn to live in peace.
