forget your hat. sukhamoy has ruined my hair no. ah. the captain and the first officer said here they don't like holes in their bread i have to put more bread out because the navigators sit here and they eat a lot. of the possibly the most unlike the tables to be laid properly he likes everything to be good and he likes beautiful women actually he just loves old women. just like all men like. cabbage but. i should know what i now. the floors icy cold and my feet are cold too. on everyone here way or something warm on their feet because they would just freeze the weiss yes it is cold here

then we are in the arctic. this ice breaker was purpose built for the arctic. the heavy pack ice would crush its big shaped hole which squeezes the ox crushing it beneath the vessels weight the propellers are designed for speed but when the need arises the time can reach the quite respectable speed of nineteen. she makes an impressive sight of c. as the time to move quickly to lend assistance. a russian military fleet is heading along the northern sea route there approaching a tough area and several ice breakers will be needed to clear a path for the fast flotilla. there may be no ice in sight now but the captain showed me the charts and up to the north of the seven the northern land

is so much ice that if the wind what's changed. but there's a very big difference. this looks like a fairly simple ship really she's not symbol and all. the time here is a quick with a reactor and a very complex security system. only a handful of people have access to this room and even they have to wear special clothing and footwear. it's the nuclear reactor that provides the ship with its enormous power thanks to

this power plant but the vessel has no need to pull into port for refueling. the nuclear fuel is only replenished once every five years. whether to the calls of what starting up the ice breaker which includes checking the reactor system takes about a week it's a lot more tricky in starting a car but it still it was letting us know and you can't shut it down that easily either each and every system needs to be started separately of course. on the inside the ship is massive easily equal to a large seven story building the newcomer could easily get lost in the enormous leverage leading to the engine room. i've worked here for twenty three years everyone cheats this shit with respect because she's the one who puts the bread in our tables ask anyone aboard even their wives and we were sure that we've always been considered the navy's elite because the training is very tough and it's

hard to get your foot in the door here it is on top of that the exams are extremely difficult as well examine the things that. dimitri is new to the nuclear navy he's preparing to apply for the position of fourth aleck trickle officer. if he's to get that first appointment he'll have to pass a series of exams there are two applicants competing for the job and the quickest is the winner dimitri is determined to be the fastest been be the first apostles exams just as it is now i'm in charge of everything to do with nuclear safety radiation safety is another department's responsibility of every tiny detail is laid down here nuclear safety is a very serious business and we have special guidance to follow it's quite a thick book. the crew is getting ready for a long covering the southern shoals of the arctic ocean.

through the current gates that connects the seas this is the official start of the northern sea route. the car route is a reference point it's where the tour begins and ends. at. the cairo gates after them it counts for nothing. but it was twenty two years ago in august that i started work here. if i wanted to get married at some point be my first tour was on the vi guy. and i met a guy there they warned me love only lasts until the car gates then he'll forget

you but he didn't. get blasted up to the gates and beyond. it and all the way back a. and that's. one two three four five six. finally catches up with the fleet in the. military ships have been given a special task in the arctic but there's nothing between them and their destination . provide the only means for such a long naval convoy to cross the straight. time of just the position we can take your place or maneuver between will it just come

alongside your approach i just five degrees. slow down. into the wake of ok into the wake. central control room to lower it to ten percent. joined the fleet at forty and took its place in the convoy. presence from the icebreaker. chris. this is. greetings from the line. thanks. provides a unique opportunity to see all of russia's nuclear powered ships together. big red . lights fifty years of victory is one of the most powerful ships in the world it can take us three meters while the white icebreaker has. a smaller engine

even leave the fleet into frozen siberian river rescuers. when i was at school we had a fifth grade i guess they told us about the first nuclear powered ice. because the lead and as i sat there listening i thought my god all of these guys are real heroes as is their fantastic. legend and i could never even help with thought that i myself might be just as fantastic a real hero like them. the first nuclear powered icebreaker was commissioned in the one nine hundred fifty nine the whole world was talking about the u.s. making the atoms of mankind the phrase bassam for peace became a popular expression. skeptics jokes that the soviet union was obsessed and even wanted. planes and ships. know how to be staged without the nuclear powered russian icebreaker fleet they proved themselves extremely reliable

in all the years they've been in service. a single nuclear accident and no one of them ever failed to complete an assignment. we shouldn't cross the line and coming close a. distance it may look as though the ship's across in clearwater but in fact the ice breakers are driving many tons of ice from the pumps with an ingenious device known as a new metric washing system. it's no easy task never gasing this many ships through so much ice. normally there are no more than two ships. now leading a total of fourteen. ships just didn't i was supposed to be aboard the vygotsky the ship behind us. and it's about my daughter was born in july and i thought i should take a break so i took a vacation and now i'm catching up on the most important thing is that my wife

understands that i have to go to sea and doesn't worry i'm. here again to look at beautiful it is. the ship behind us. if you're lucky you get to see it from the bridge all the time. i chose this job as a child so much time on eleven thirty good day lunches serves one every teacher everyone. today along with the yellow by couch and fifty is a picture of ice breaker. we will continue to leave the beach in the russian navy ships. we're currently in the lead up to its feet twenty miles will be overcome for most of that private island.

totally nonsense because it is a market economy and its total budget of the european union what we are talking about is not more than one per cent off the. total budget is about the size of the . call the social. welfare states on the national level this is totally ridiculous that you. are so ridiculous about the e.u. marching in more or less to greece and to cyprus to study tiddly socialist. to talk about reading people's private bank towns. and this is what they're talking about people of falling over themselves immigrants are falling over themselves to get into great britain because the rest of the.

stories others refuse to. face is. the picture of today's not. from around. the.

this is the media so we need to maybe. buy the same motions to the. party visible. questions that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our team. command so let nine zero degrees. interest sieved zero. zero. zero dimitri hopes the first officer will tell him exactly what tests he needs to pass but now it seems is not the time to ask. there's a big blow out you're right near the entrance he's forward will shift and return. that understood.

for the gators each trip is a new first time. changes dramatically in just a few the ice will never remain the same for more than a few minutes. there's something else to consider you can see sips of ice now but if a southerly wind blows they will vanish but if we get a northerly wind blowing through. that it's almost impossible even to make the lights on the ship in front. of. the. visibility was absolutely fine. maintaining convoy formation at such close distances three why some fog is

a major challenge. the ships are surrounded by so much ice that the radar display looks quite blank every crew member needs to concentrate. the. regular event in autumn new ice has already begun to appear and that always means fog. zero two zero we're laying the table for dinner and there is a lot of work to do you we're constantly on the go because if you take a break and sit down to chat even for five minutes you'll be late so we just can't do it. despite the fog and two meters of ice the crew maintains a regular shed you will. learn i was cleaning me in a day when she heard her favorite song so she stopped what she was doing and went to listen to the music. right i gotta

go no sit sit look at her look she's wearing a red dress. if the first officer sees as he'll hang me from the mast i'm kidding. the ice breaker led the military convoy for almost four days the toughest stages behind them will be clear water until all the way to the new siberian islands. i breaker captain we've undertaken a unique operation perhaps the first of its kind in russian naval history every one of the russian federation of the nuclear power to ships was involved i wish to express my gratitude to the ice and breaker crew and wish you luck and safe

passage in this region turn right course one hundred zero degrees by course one eight zero. the ice breakers peel away and he's asleep behind an elder of the other ships waiting for the helm. we escort these ships and head back to the hundred ninth meridian all the other ships from the east will of arrived by the time we get there and we'll run back and forth again. when the ship is alone and. the crew usually try to organize a variety of tasks that involve every seaman aboard today there are rumors of a training drill after lunch. starting soon. get in position. working day

quite extreme around here. the notice board informs each crew member where they can find their allocated lifeboat seat. which is my life boat one which her number is yours twenty one let's look it up. there won't be a drill today look. i'm breaking all the rules i've let my station early but. those are saying there is no drill it's cancelled was that a joke in the end it was a. aboard the icebreakers rumors jokingly referred to as news from the galley or abbreviated while was what one woman said. dimitri is confident that he's no well prepared he wants to pass the exams first and has already spoken to the first officer about sitting the test tomorrow so it's not all yours some of his on. and official policy

yes i got you thank you. you're welcome you see. much the same. thing the changes of the ships trailing in its wake good day duty officer to central control room where discarding the tanker. which will take approximately one more day other than that no other news have a safe shift. dimitri has passed his test with flying colors so he'll take up his new post in a matter of days. becomes almost completely free of ice making it the busiest time of the year. we covered the whole lane across the arctic and there was no ice anywhere but if

it's just one it's. a good move on without. across the arctic is much more active now. maybe the fact that it's not so much. is never gave to be done in the. work for us. is much quicker than the best. twenty two days to reach. forty days making the. crew and fuel costs. of using the north sea with. technologies advancing the climate is changing and. becoming more expensive but. very differently.

everything. with domestic problems life is very different here my wife and i were. life i've only spent fourteen at home i missed those years i spent at sea i didn't play a part in bringing up my children one time i came home and they were small and next they were grown ups when i worked in the far east i used to bring back clothes and things boots for example for my eldest daughter and when i got home it turned out they were already too small so next time i brought bigger ones but by the time i got home they were too small as well. and i've had enough of the sea in the arctic but it's better than most spent thirty five years here just like they're going to similar middle cities i first saw my son a year and a half of he was born and going to do in the near no i wasn't there when my wife left the maternity home last any of our children are the son or daughter was the

other yes we're turning around to go and help the nordic she's damaged. yes. the nordics leaky is above the water line but still leaving it in a spike be dangerous the ice breaker receives a new water to leap the stricken vessel into clear water. boarding stand by to morrow. daily by. the seamen who sailed east know the most latitude to happy knowing that if they're ever in trouble in the arctic the ice breakers are there to help. when he's hard to get through the ice because sailors come to get you off the trouble of the fuel it's about. all this is they saw no reason. to give up or in the run. down.

number three just give got. no. money up only ship. marketed done. a lot of. the nordic has safely be discarded through the ice. able to make her own way to a safe harbor. which is good there's nothing in ventris about so work it's mostly read seen them. but this can we do the same things in almost never come ashore. which is a pity because it would feel great so walk on the ground again. to go the thing

that would enable but after spending all this time and see them. at the center of the northern sea route but no one can go ashore. with. much to be done. to transfer. groceries from the time. to. three months. of food. because it's. just as many. perishable food that they need. and then ships just put to sea will deliver fresh fruit and vegetables. watch out careful. pairs. oranges are fine but nothing.

when they'll be able to go home next. because i've just been on vacation. and. it's. just a bit like groundhog day. but she has. been everywhere. we have. always wanted to take.

the east. the fleet is waiting for them on the ice border. for. fear of her we followed you with your daughter without your critical speech of. the northernmost town of russia across the straits lies america or the other hemisphere. the crew has just two hours to wall cone song and as evening descends on the. it's still early morning aboard the five. time difference because the ship remains on hope post time to morrow she'll sail west. the fleet awaits safe passage through the ice.
