KURSK, RUSSIA - NOVEMBER 19: The memorial to the Russian sailors who perished when the Kursk nuclear submarine sank on August 12, 2000, with 118 sailors aboard at the cemetery/monument to a dozen of the sailors buried in Kursk town itself, 300 miles south of Moscow. The Kursk families say that Russian president Vladimir Putin has "fulfilled" all the promises he made to them, despite slow official efforts to save the crew immediately after the sub sank in the Berents Sea.
