Museum of Russian Submarine Forces, Military museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia

The Museum of Russian Submarine Forces displays military artifacts, submarine instruments, and historical documents related to naval operations. It also features an actual submarine that visitors can explore from the inside.

The museum was founded in 1997 and commemorates Soviet submarine commander Alexander Marinesko and his actions during World War II. The B-107 submarine from 1964 is one of the main exhibits and shows how Soviet underwater technology developed over time.

The museum grew out of a 1980s school museum on Liteyny Prospekt, where teacher Elena Zhdan and her "Poisk" search group tracked down submarine crew members and collected documents, photographs and personal belongings. Veterans of the S-13 met there, and their collection passed to the new museum in 1997. The museum still publishes the bulletin "Vestnik podplava" and hosts veteran reunions.

The museum is located at Kondratyevsky prospekt 83 and offers guided tours for visitors. Wear comfortable shoes since exploring the submarine involves climbing narrow stairs and walking through tight corridors.

The Foxtrot-class submarine lets visitors experience firsthand the cramped living and working conditions of submarine crews. You can directly imagine how sailors spent days and weeks in these tight spaces.
