B-440, Soviet submarine museum in Vytegra, Russia.
The B-440 diesel-electric submarine stretches along the waterfront, displaying its dark steel hull and conning tower against the northern Russian landscape.
Built in Leningrad during 1970, this Project 641 submarine served in the Soviet Northern Fleet, conducting missions across Mediterranean, Norwegian, and Barents seas until 1999.
The submarine museum presents seven compartments that showcase the daily life and working conditions of Soviet naval personnel during the Cold War period.
Located near the Volga-Baltic Canal, the submarine museum offers guided tours through multiple decks, with adult admission priced at 260 rubles and children at 100 rubles.
The vessel traveled through Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega to reach its final destination in Vytegra, requiring special dredging operations for proper shoreline mooring.

These preserved submarines open their hatches to visitors who want to see where sailors lived and fought beneath the ocean surface. From World War II patrol boats that hunted across the Pacific to the first nuclear-powered vessel that changed naval history forever, each submarine reveals the cramped reality of underwater service. You walk through narrow steel corridors, peer into bunks stacked three high, and stand where officers once studied charts and gave orders in near silence. The collection includes vessels from harbors across the United States and around the world, each one a working museum where the instruments, torpedo tubes, and engine rooms remain as they were during active duty. Some of these submarines sank enemy warships and rescued Allied prisoners during the Second World War. Others served through the Cold War, carrying crews on patrols that lasted weeks without seeing daylight. A few pushed the limits of technology, proving that nuclear reactors could power a vessel across thousands of miles and even under the polar ice. Whether docked in a busy port or resting beside a quiet lake, these submarines bring you face to face with the men who descended into the deep, closed the hatch, and did their work in spaces smaller than a city bus.
