One of the crewmember on B-59, Vasilij Acrhipov, made a briliant carrer, but no one knows about his work during the Cubacrise
As long as the cold war went on, the story about B-59 was a secret, not untill 2002 the world was told about the submarine and Vasilij Archipov that saved the world from a nuclearwar.
Archipov was born in Kupnava not far from Moscow 1926, during the second world war he served on a minesweeper. After the war was he transferd to the submarinebase in Murmansk. When the coldwar ended he got the command over a own submarine and was later named commander over a group of submarinekadetts and in 1975 he was named Admiral.
Vasilij Acrchipov died as anonymus man in 1999, three years before the world learnt about his role during the Cubacrise.
